Investigation of ²⁰⁸Pb (³⁴Na,³³Na)X reaction at 100 MeV/n beam energy

The nuclei lying near to the drip line are termed as exotic nuclei. These nuclei have large N/Z ratio compared to other stable nucleus due to which these have novel characteristics like low binding energy, large matter radii, large breakup cross section and narrow longitudinal momentum distribution of core fragment. The study of these nuclei is important because of their key role in nucleosynthesis reactions. In recent years, ³⁴Na nucleus has attracted lot of attention because of its loosely bound valence neutron and its role in stellar reactions. In this work we have investigated the effects of core excitation and various binding energies (in exp. uncertainties 0.10 to 0.8 MeV) on longitudinal momentum distribution width and single neutron breakup cross section. We have considered both p and f states along with ground and excited state of the core
