Determination of breakup cross-sections using A 3-body simulation code based on Monte Carlo method

An array of double sided Silicon strip detectors has been used to measure the events for elastic scattering and different breakup channels like direct, resonant and transfer reactions involving ⁷Li as a projectile. The aim is to quantify the differential cross-section for above breakup channels to understand the high yield of inclusive alpha contribution. Precise determination of the detection efficiency for the events in coincidence is required for that purpose. A simulation code has been developed based on Monte Carlo method involving 3-body kinematics to extract out the coincidence efficiency of the binary breakup events. This paper explains the method of extraction of breakup cross-section using the extracted efficiency. (author)
