Description
Active targets are perfect tools for the study of reactions induced by radioactive ion beams of very low intensity. Thus, they make possible the study of direct and compound reactions at the same time. In this talk, we will present the results obtained with the MAYA active target for low energy reactions induced by the halo nucleus 11Li. A method used to measure the mass of short-lived nuclei, applied to the 11Li case will be discussed. The experimental angular distribution of the two halo-neutron transfer reaction 1H(11Li,9Li)t at 4.3A MeV, using the MAYA detector as a thin target, will be presented and compared to coupled reaction channel calculations including 3-body models in order to extract informations on the structure of the 11Li halo. The extraction of the 11Li+p optical potential using the data on the elastic scattering, will also be discussed. Finally, the excitation function of the resonant elastic scattering reaction, determined using the MAYA detector as a thick target, will be presented. Extraction of information on the structure of possible 12Li isobaric analog states observed in 12Be using several R-matrix calculations will be shown.
