Breakup, fusion, and elastic scattering analysis of the 8B + 58Ni system at low energies with the continuum-discretized coupled channels method

Abstract

We have performed continuum-discretized coupled channels (CDCC) calculations of the breakup of 8B on 58Ni in the energy interval 10 – 26 MeV in the c.m. system. Elastic scattering angular distributions for the 8B + 58Ni system at five different energies around the Coulomb barrier were studied by using the CDCC model and taking into account a coupling between elastic and breakup channels. The energy-dependent sets found for the OPs parameters reproduce well the elastic scattering data and the fusion and reaction cross sections. Finally, a comparison of the reduced total reaction cross sections for the 8B + 58Ni system with the 6He + 208Pb and 6He + 209Bi systems is presented.
