A different approach to study the break-up mechanism using loosely bound nuclei: a case study for ⁷Li + ²⁰⁸Pb reaction

Reaction mechanism involving weakly bound nuclei is of continue interest due to its wide range of anomalous behavior in experimental observables, an effect due to low breakup threshold. Over the last decade, with the availability of secondary radioactive ion beams, understanding the role of breakup has become a major research focus. Projectile dissociation in the field of target nucleus is a topic of continued interest because of its application to the determination of radiative capture cross section of astrophysical interest. Projectile breakup modifies the accepted picture for two body fusion of strongly bound nuclei. In this report we presented a completely different and simple approach to understand the breakup mechanism using loosely bound nuclei. A 3 body decay mechanism has been simulated using Monte Carlo technique to understand the breakup phenomena. This is a continuation of our previous investigation
