Abstract

One-proton removal reactions of 936 MeV/u 8 B have been studied with carbon and lead as breakup targets. Using the FRS at GSI, the longitudinal momentum distributions of the 7 Be fragments and the one-proton removal cross section of 8 B were measured. The relative contributions of the breakup channels leading to 7 Be in its ground state and excited state at 429 keV ( 7 Be ∗ ) have been determined from measurements of γ rays in coincidence with the fragments from the one-proton removal reaction. The experimental breakup data are discussed in the context of a theoretical ( α+ 3 He+ p ) three-body model. The combined data from the two targets allow a determination of the weight of the 7 Be ∗ component in the 8 B ground state wave function as (13.3±2.2%)
