Exploring continuum structures in reactions with three-body nuclei

TL;DR

This paper applies the Transfer to the Continuum method with a three-body model to analyze reactions involving three-body nuclei, successfully matching experimental data for unbound isotopes.

Contribution

It introduces a comprehensive three-body model combined with the Transfer to the Continuum method for reaction analysis involving three-body nuclei.

Findings

Calculations agree with experimental data for $^{10}$Li and $^{13}$Be.

Demonstrates effectiveness of the three-body model in reaction analysis.

Provides insights into continuum structures of unbound nuclei.

Abstract

The Transfer to the Continuum method has been applied to describe the $^{11}\text{Li}(p,pn)$ and $^{14}\text{Be}(p,pn)$ reactions in inverse kinematics, using structure overlaps computed within a full three-body model for the projectile. Calculations agree with the available experimental data on the unbound $^{10}$Li and $^{13}$Be nuclei.
