Nuclear Science and Techniques Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The breakup reaction of \(^{9}\hbox {Li}\) on a Pb target has been measured at 32.7 MeV/nucleon for the first time. Two peaks of \(^{6}\hbox {He}+\hbox {t}\) coincident fragments at 9.8 and 12.5 MeV were observed and agreed with the results of the generator coordinate method calculation. The experiment was carried out thanks to a specially arranged detection system around zero degrees at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou, Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (HIRFL–RIBLL).
