Effect of Halo Structure in Nuclear Reactions Using Monte-Carlo Simulations

In the present study, we have shown the effect of halo structure of nuclei on the fragment production at projectile energy of 100 MeV/nucleon. The present study is carried out using an n-body dynamical model that simulates the reactions on an event-by-event basis, and fragments are constructed using spatial correlations among nucleons. We show the quantities averaged over events and the correlation function of fragments constructed on an event-by-event basis for halo and stable nuclei induced reactions. Both average quantities and correlation function have slight variation toward halo structure of nuclei at this incident energy. Therefore, one should study the fragmentation at lower incident energies to understand the effect of halo structure of nuclei.
