Explanation ofHe3and triton rates in the alpha breakup inclusive cross sections

Abstract
(α, He3) and (α, t) continuum inclusive spectra are measured on target nuclei ranging from Ni58 to Bi209. Systematic differences in the absolute magnitudes of the He3 and triton spectra are found. To explain these differences the distorted-wave Born approximation calculations in the post form for inclusive breakup reactions are performed. It is shown that Coulomb effects are responsible for these differences.
