Transfer to the Continuum Calculations of Quasifree (p, pn) and (p, 2p) Reactions at Intermediate and High Energies

Abstract

Nucleon removal (p, pN) reactions at intermediate energies have gained renewed attention in recent years as a tool to extract information from exotic nuclei performing reactions in inverse kinematics with exotic beams incident on proton targets. In this contribution, we present calculations for (p, pN) reactions performed within the so-called transfer to the continuum method (TR$^*$), a fully quantum mechanical formalism, focusing on the momentum distributions of the emitted core.
