Reaction mechanism of Li-6 scattering at 600 MeV

Elastic scattering and inclusive breakup of Li-6 particles on C-12 Ni-58, Zr-90, and Pb-208 targets are measured at 100A MeV. The elastic scattering data are compared with single channel and Coupled Discretized Continuum Channels calculations. The coupling-effect between the elastic and the breakup channels is important even at an incident energy of 100A MeV and cannot be neglected. The inclusive breakup data are investigated for orbital dispersion effects which are found to be less significant at 100A MeV. The longitudinal momentum distributions are broader than predicted by theoretical expectations.
