The Research Program at RIBRAS (Radioactive Ion Beams in Brasil)-III

Abstract

A part of the research program developed in the RIBRAS facility over the last four years is presented. Experiments using radioactive secondary beams of light exotic nuclei such as 6He, 7Be, 8Li on several targets have been performed. Elastic angular distributions have been analysed by the Optical Model and four body Continuous Discretized Coupled Channels Calculations (4b-CDCC) and the total reaction cross sections have been obtained. A comparison between the reaction cross sections of 6He and other stable projectiles with medium-heavy targets was performed. Measurements of the proton transfer reaction 12C(8Li,9Be)11B are also presented.
