Quasi-free 6Li(n, α)3H reaction at low energy from 2H break-up.

The 6Li + d reaction was studied in order to investigate the quasi-free 6Li(n, α)3H reaction, off the proton in 2H. A kinematically complete experiment was performed at a beam energy of 14 MeV. Coincidence spectra show the contribution of the quasi-free n+6Li reaction in the relative energy range from 1.5 MeV down to zero. The extracted 6Li(n, α)3H quasi-free cross-section was compared with the behavior of direct data throughout the investigated energy range. No penetrability corrections were introduced on the quasi-free data, being the 6Li(n, α)3H direct reaction free of Coulomb suppression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
