Quasielastic scattering ofLi11using realistic three-body wave functions

Abstract
The quasielastic scattering of Li11 from C12 at 60 MeV/nucleon is calculated in a four-body Glauber approximation. Different Li11 ground-state wave functions are used, including those calculated using Faddeev three-body models. The calculated quasielastic cross sections, including the 2+ and 3 states of C12 in a distorted wave Born approximation, reproduce the experimental data over most of the angular range, the differences between theoretical models being less than the quoted statistical errors on the available data.
