I will discuss the foundation of the Trojan Horse Method (THM) within the Inclusive Non-Elastic Breakup (INEB) theory. This work demonstrates that the direct part of the INEB cross section, which is of two-step character, becomes, in the DWBA limit of the three-body theory with appropriate approximations and redefinitions, similar in structure to the one-step THM cross section. I will also...
Recently, proton-induced nucleon knockout reactions, (p,pN), have been utilized for the nucleon spectroscopy of nuclei, for unstable nuclei in the inverse kinematics in particular. In this study the benchmarking of the three reaction theories for describing the (p,pN) reaction has been done. The momentum distributions calculated with the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) and the...
The structure of neutron-rich Ca isotopes have attracted interest from both experimental and theoretical side for a decade. The N=32 sub-shell gap is found to be well established from the measured 2+ energy in 52Ca[1]. Recently, with the availability of intense radioactive beam, the N=34 sub-shell closure was also found experimentally in 54Ca[2]. To quantitatively study the nature of N=34...
Despite the remarkable successes obtained by the cluster models, the physical observables that are directly related to the cluster degree of freedom is not available until very recent studies of α-transfer reactions and α-knockout reactions. We introduce the microscopic structure models into the theoretical frameworks for α-knock out reactions to probe the α-clustering in 10Be nucleus. In this...
