Study of the 12C (8B, 7Be)X knockout reaction at intermediate energies

Abstract

The breakup reactions of ⁸B on a ¹²C target at 142, 285, 790, and 936MeV/nucleon have been studied. One-proton-removal cross sections, leading to the production of ⁷Be fragments in the ground and first excited states (at 0.429MeV), and the longitudinal momentum distributions of the ⁷Be fragments are obtained in the Eikonal approximation of the Glauber Model. The results of the calculations including the contribution of the ⁷Be to the ground and first excited states of ⁸B are compared with the available experimental data. One-proton-removal cross section for the ¹²C(⁸B, ⁷Be)X knockout reaction at 142, 285, 790, and 936 MeV/nucleon energy has been calculated. ⁸B and ⁷Be cross sections and momentum distribution are in a good agreement with available data.
