Elastic scattering and transfer in the 6He+209Bi system below the coulomb barrier Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The interaction of 6He with 209Bi has been studied over a range of energies well below the nominal Coulomb barrier. A 4He group of remarkable intensity, first observed in a previous experiment at near-barrier energies, continues to dominate the reaction in the sub-barrier regime. A total cross section of nearly 200 mb was measured for this group at 6 MeV below the barrier. This very large value is shown to be consistent with the total reaction cross section deduced from a simultaneously-measured elastic scattering angular distribution.
