CDCC studies on clustering physics

Abstract

The continuum-discretized coupled-channels method (CDCC) has successfully been applied to studies on various reactions involving unstable nuclei. The four-body CDCC method is a new method to calculate three-body breakup continuum in a projectile, which gives an accurate analysis for four-body breakup systems. The eikonal reaction theory is a new approach to calculate inclusive breakup cross sections such as neutron removal cross sections. Moreover, CDCC is a useful tool for evaluation of nuclear data, which are important for nuclear engineering.
