Coherent and incoherent processes in projectile breakup

Abstract

We have studied the breakup of 140 MeV 16O into 12C + α by targets of 12C, 13C and 28Si. At least two mechanisms contribute. One can be identified as the coherent excitation of the 16O projectile to components of the giant resonance states. Another dominant mechanism may be the quasi-free scattering of the α or 12C constituents of the projectile by the target.
