    The quantification of pairing interaction in a two-neutron transfer through the intermediary continuum

    Full text link
    An unbound intermediate system (A+1) with the presence of a resonance, can aid in the pairing enhancement in a two-neutron transfer reaction from a bound system A to another bound system (A+2). This enhancement is a consequence of the constructive interference via the several reaction channels available in the (A+1) system. We test this feature through our study in 6He, modeled as two neutrons in the orbitals of an intermediate 5He nucleus. Weighing up the natural case of an unbound 5He with a hypothetically bound 5He, we find that the inclusion of a properly modeled continuum favours the pairing correlations leading to enhanced two-neutron transfer cross-sections

    Interplay of break-up and transfer processes in reactions involving weakly-bound systems

    In this note we illustrate some applications of a simple model which has been devised to clarify the reaction mechanism and the interplay of different reaction channels (elastic, inelastic, transfer, break-up) in heavy-ion collisions. The model involves two potential wells moving in one dimension and few active particles; in spite of its simplicity, it is supposed to maintain the main features, the properties and the physics of the full three-dimensional case. Special attention is given to the role of continuum states in reactions involving weakly-bound systems, and different approximation schemes (as first-order or coupled-channels) as well as different continuum discretization procedures are tested. In the case of two active particles the reaction mechanism associated with two-particle transfer and the effect of pairing intearction are investigated.SCOPUS: cp.pinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
