Breakup processes in heavy-ion induced reactions

Abstract
Cross sections for breakup of Ne20 into O16 and α during scattering from Ca40 were calculated in terms of the distorted wave Born approximation. The inclusive O16 cross section observed in the Ca40(Ne20, O16) reaction was then found to be fitted very well by the sum of this breakup contribution and that of the α-transfer reaction calculated in our previous work.
