Nuclear structure from direct reactions with rare isotopes: observables, methods and highlights
Résumé
An overview of direct reactions employed for nuclear structure studies is presented. The basic
and most used analysis methods of elastic and inelastic scattering, transfer reactions and intermediateenergy
removal reactions are reviewed. The most relevant observables from direct reactions regarding the
nuclear many-body problem, as well as related experimental techniques, are illustrated through recent
achievements with unstable nuclei.
