  1. Direct Reactions in/forNuclear Astrophysics Carlos Bertulani (University of Arizona)

  2. Nuclear Astrophysics TeV/nucleon keV/nucleon ??? ??? • Nuclear many-body problem:one of the hardest problems of all physics! • Interactions are complicated • Nucleons = composite particles • Requires large computation Exotic stellar site Quark matter in compact stars,Big Bang Typical stellar site Stellar evolution

  3. Typical problems

  4. Electron screening:(a)in stars(theoretical)(b) on earth(experimental+theoretical) Stopping power tables wrong?YES Atomic, QED, or nuclear effects? NO CB, de Paula, PRC 2000, 2004 CB, Balantekin, Hussein, NPA 1997

  5. Solutions with direct reactions at 50-200 MeV/nucleon (A) Trojan horse A(a=b+x,b+c)C  A(x,c)C Baur, PLB 1986 ClaudioSpitaleri, Catania (B) ANC Akram Mukhamedzhanov, 1991 Talk by BobTribble, Tuesday (C) Knockout reactions CB, McVoy, PRC 1992 best probe of ψ Spectroscopic factors input for nuclear reactions in astrophysics Hansen, Tostevin, ARNPS 2003 CB, Hansen, PRC 2004

  6. Coulomb dissociation Theory CB, Baur, Rebel, 1986 Shoemaker-Levy comet (easier than this) Kiener et al., Z. Phys. 1993

  7. Standard calculations 1 – Use a nuclear model. Expand trans. dens. into multipoles 1a – e.g. a potential model (Woods Saxon + Coulomb + spin orb.) 2 – Use an optical potential, or build from folding (M3Y, JLM, etc.) 3 – Plug in DWBA amplitude

  8. 4 – Repeat all for Coulomb interaction 5 – Add all s,dp,f s,d E1 E1 E2 p3/2 p3/2 capture break-up

  9. Application to 7Be(p,g)8B Motobayashi et al, PRL 1994 talk by Motobayashi

  10. Discussions with John Bahcall, 1994

  12. Nuclear interaction: from 50 MeV/nucleon Data: Kikuchi, PLB 97 Calc: C.B., NPA 1998

  13. Higher order transitions Continuum discretization

  14. small effect higher-order transitions in • small E1-E2 interference in Higher order transitions + E1-E2 interference • but large E1-E2 interference in momentum distirbutions • Esbensen, Bertsch, NPA 1996 • Used by Davids, PRL 1999 to filter E2 from S17(0) C.B., Z. Phys. 1996

  15. Relativistic effects CB, PRL 2005 b V0 z Eikonal Relativistic CDCC

  16. perturbation theory R-CDCC NR-CDCCwith non-relativistic V0 8B dissociation on lead at 50 MeV/nucleon DATA: Davids et al, 2002 DATA: Kikuchi et al, 1997 relativistic corrections 4-10% effect

  27. Reconciling Nuclear Physics with QCD van Kolck, 1997Gegelia, 1998Kaplan, Savage, Wise, 1998 CB, Hammer, van Kolck, 2002 Kong, Ravndal, 2000 in progress

  28. Summary • Problems in nuclear astrophysics • Screening: confusing • too small cross sections • Many reactions will never be measured directly • Using direct reactions • Coulomb excitation • Charge-exchange • Knockout & transfer reactions, … • Need ISOL and fragmentation facilities • Needed theory • reactions in general • bridge internal (structure) to external (reactions) • understand Nuc. Phys. from fundamental theory QCD

  29. and for the LHC …
