Study of the cross-sections for the resonant nuclear reactions induced by ⁶Li + ²H collisions based on ab initio computations of characteristics of highly excited states of ⁸Be spectrum

Abstract

The results of application of the Cluster Channels Orthogonal Functions Method in combination with the R-matrix theory for calculating the cross-sections of the reactions induced by 6Li + 2H collisions are presented. As part of this work, first, very high lying resonances that have a decisive influence on the cross-sections of these reactions were identified. Second, for the first time in the framework of a theoretical study of nuclear reactions, to the cross-sections of all binary reactions pass through one and the same compound nucleus were computed using a consistent unified theoretical approach. The yield of sequential tripartition reactions is also a subject of this study.
