Abstract

Low-energy deuteron break-up on heavy nuclei is treated paying special attention to the neutron-nucleus interaction. The neutron-nucleus elastic scattering phase shift, the only quantity through which the neutron-nucleus interaction enters into our calculations, is split into an energy-averaged part described by the optical model and a fluctuating part. Some calculations are given in order to illustrate the effects of the neutron-nucleus interaction, along with a comparison with recent experimental results, which shows very good agreement.
