Core transitions in the breakup of exotic nuclei
Core transitions in the breakup of exotic nuclei
An interesting physical process has been unveiled: Dynamical core excitation during a breakup reaction of loosely bound $\mathrm{core}+N$ systems. These reactions are typically used to extract spectroscopic information and/or astrophysical information. A new method, the eXtended Continuum Discretized Coupled Channel (XCDCC) method, was developed to incorporate, in a consistent way …
