Three-Body Treatment of the Final State in the (He3,pp) Reaction on Medium-Mass Nuclei

Abstract

A parameter-free method is proposed for the analysis of transfer reactions leading to an unbound three-body final state. The three-body dynamics are treated in the adiabatic approximation. The technique is applied successfully to new data for the ${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}({}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}, pp){}_{}{}^{29}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}$ reaction.
