Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The puzzle that motivates this project is the systematically less dipole response seen in experiments for the breakup of two-neutron halo nuclei such as 6He and 11 Li, compared with all of our predictions which attempt to be realistic. Some of us suspect that the role and effects of anti symmetrisation need to be reconsidered: that something important is missing in our existing three-body treatments.As well as re-examining the bound and continuum wave functions, we also need to recalculate accurately breakup rates, for detailed and realistic comparisons with experiments. We are prepared to calculate what is actually measured in coincident breakup experiments, including apertures and efficiencies, to avoid any model-dependent assumptions in the existing presentations of experimental results.
