Kinematic Modeling of the Quasi-Free Scattering of Deuterons and α-Particles on the Clusters of Light Nuclei

Abstract

A way of determining the cluster structure of light nuclei is considered, using the example of ⁷Li. To obtain new data on the cluster structure of light nuclei, it is proposed that reactions of the quasi-free scattering (QFS) of particles on the clusters of the above nucleus be studied. Protons, deuterons, and α-particles can be used as projectiles to induce such QFS reactions. The approach is tested by modeling QFS reactions on the clusters of the ⁷Li nucleus, induced by deuterons and α-particles with energies of 15 and 30 MeV, respectively. The results from modeling indicate that using different projectiles in the reaction of quasi-free scattering allows better determination of the cluster structure of light nuclei.
