The role of breakup in near-barrier Li-6+Pb-208 scattering

Continuum-discretized-coupled-channels (CDCC) calculations for the Li-6+(208)pb system have been performed at several near-barrier energies using a cluster-folding (CF) model description of the Li-6-target interactions. Good agreement with the elastic scattering angular distributions is obtained without the need or re-normalization of the CF potential. Decomposition of the calculated Li-6 sequential breakup cross section into Coulomb and nuclear components shows that the forward angle cross section is dominated by the Coulomb amplitude at near-barrier energies.
