Efficient transfer reaction method with RI BEams

New Experimental technique = Thick target technique = d RI beam experiment is usually by an inverse kinematics and an emitted light particle is detected. Thus Q-value resolutions are determined by the thickness of the target. We developed two methods to use thick target. Detection of both particles (determine more than three observables) Active target (p, d, 4He ... available)

p(11Li, t)9Li reaction at 10A MeV as an Example

Principle When we know the incident energy and the species of final state particles with a very thin target, the Q-value and the scattering angle (ϑs) are the only unknown quantities of the reaction. Therefore by measuring any two observables, for example the scattering angle and the energy of a particle, we can determine the Q-value and θs as typically shown as a clear separation of the kinematic loci in Fig. 2.7 (a), (b), (c). When the thickness of target becomes significant, an additional unknown is introduced that is the depth of the reaction point in the target. In such a case, the energy losses of involved particles are directly correlated with the depth of the reaction. Therefore the additional unknown is only one. One additional observable, total of three, fixes all the unknown quantities including the depth of the reaction point, in principle. The variables can be selected among observables, the energy and the angle of the light particle, the energy and the angle of the heavy residue, and the depth of the reaction point.
