Abstract
The resonant and non-resonant cross sections for the break-up of 6Li in the Coulomb field of a heavy nucleus are studied theoretically on the basis of a DWBA approach and analysed with a view to possible experimental measurements of the electromagnetic transition-matrix elements between the ground state of the projectile and the alpha +d continuum states at small relative energies. The calculation uses explicitly some of the simplifications that appear in the particular case of the quadrupole transitions which dominate the case considered here. The things the cross sections are sensitive to are also discussed.
