Eo. Alt et al., EFFECT OF 3-BODY COULOMB INTERACTIONS ON THE BREAKUP OF LIGHT-NUCLEI IN THE FIELD OF A HEAVY-ION - AN ASYMPTOTIC ESTIMATE, Physics of atomic nuclei, 58(11), 1995, pp. 1860-1865
The quasielastic breakup of light nuclei into two charged fragments in
the Coulomb field of a heavy multiply charged ion are studied. For fr
agments diverging with extremely low energies, an asymptotic estimate
is obtained for the ratio of the differential cross section in which t
hree-body Coulomb effects are taken into account to that in which thes
e effects are disregarded. It is shown that effects due to the acceler
ation of breakup fragments in the field of the heavy ion are significa
nt.
