Description
Over the years, elastic scattering measurements involving light radioactive projectile nuclei have gained much interest. One of the main objectives of such measurements is to understand the various reaction mechanisms that play a role in the elastic scattering process. Elastic scattering using boron isotopes as projectiles has been shown to be an intriguing case for investigating several effects that can be present in the process. However, experimental data with boron isotope projectiles are scarce, particularly for the 12B isotope. Angular distributions of the 12B + 120Sn elastic scattering are measured at 48 MeV incident energy. The experiment was performed in the RIBRAS (Radioactive Ion Beams in Brasil) facility at the Nuclear Physics Open Laboratory (LAFN) of the University of Sao Paulo. The 11B primary beam was delivered by the 8-UD Pelletron accelerator with 48 MeV energy impinging in the RIBRAS primary scattering chamber where a 12 μm 9Be foil was used as production target. The secondary 12B radioactive ion beam was produced by the 9Be(11B, 12B) reaction. The obtained angular distributions were analyzed in terms of the large-scale coupled channel (CC) and coupled reaction channel (CRC) calculations, where several inelastic transitions for the target, as well as the most relevant transfer reactions, have been included in the coupling matrix elements. Additionally, these results are compared with previously measured 12B+58Ni at RIBRAS as well as with existing experimental data using the same 120Sn target, such as for 4,6He, 6,7Li, 9,11Be, and 8,10,11B. Preliminary results will be presented.
