Stripping cross sections in collisions of light nuclei

Abstract

By evaluating all the contributions of the intermediate states of the multiple scattering theory diagrams, we compute the integrated stripping cross sections of collisions among light nuclei. The resulting expressions have the simple form of a combination of total inelastic cross sections of nuclear reactions with projectile nuclei differing in the atomic mass number. We also check the accuracy of some widely used relations in heavy ion collisions.
