Description
Summary:In this work, we present an extension of the Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channel formalism to include the effects of absorption and excitation of the core through its interaction with the removed particle in the description of nuclear breakup reactions. This extension is performed via the inclusion of a complex energy-dependent interaction between core and removed particle and the use of a binormal basis to ensure orthogonality. The formalism is applied to neutron breakup reactions with a 12C target at 70 MeV per nucleon for the loosely-bound 11Be nucleus and the more deeply-bound 41Ca nucleus, finding a moderate reduction in the cross section for the weakly-bound case and a strong reduction for the more deeply-bound case. Possible implications for the interpretation of intermediate-energy knockout reactions are discussed.
