Breakup dynamics of a neutron-halo projectile on heavy target at deep sub-barrier energies

B Mukeru, T Sithole, L Tomio - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
By studying the total fusion and breakup cross-sections in the interaction of the neutron-halo
11 Be projectile on the lead target 208 Pb, it is shown that, even for the neutron-halo …

Coulomb and nuclear interactions in the dynamics of weakly-bound neutron-halo breakup on heavy target

B Mukeru, L Tomio - Chinese Physics C, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Within our aim to clarify some aspects of the breakup dynamics of loosely-bound neutron-
halo projectiles on a heavy target, we apply the continuum discretized coupled-channel …

[HTML][HTML] Breakup of s-wave neutron-halo systems with near zero binding energy

B Mukeru, LV Ndala, ML Lekala - Nuclear Physics A, 2022 - Elsevier
In this paper, we analyze the Be 11+ 208 Pb and Mg 37+ 208 Pb breakup reactions in the
projectile zero binding energy limit. The objective is to verify whether finite and converged …

Role of a high ground-state centrifugal barrier in the breakup of the 31Ne nucleus

B Mukeru - Chinese Physics C, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
An analysis of the breakup of the weakly-bound neutron-halo system on a lead target is
presented, considering the and ground-state configurations. It is shown that a high …

Importance of multi-step processes in the Coulomb and nuclear breakups of halo nucleus

B Mukeru, LV Ndala, ML Lekala - International Journal of Modern …, 2022 - World Scientific
Breakup reactions involving heavy targets are known to be dominated by the Coulomb
breakup, and this is understood as due to the long-range nature of Coulomb forces and a …
