Abstract

Because they are brittle, unstable light nuclei can produce an annular diffraction pattern observed on their decay products with large cross sections. Within this simple model, the 9Li angular distribution observed in the 11Li fragmentation at 790 MeV/A have been reproduced together with the reaction cross section and the fragmentation yield provided recoil effects from neutron emission are included. It results that for this projectile and for light targets, diffraction is the main source of transverse momentum for 9Li whereas for neutrons it originates from its emission energy in the 11Li center of mass.
