Le but principal de ma thèse de doctorat est d’étudier la dissociation de noyaux exotiques. Ces noyaux sont peu liés et présentent une structure en halo dominante. Ceci conduit à des propriétés très particulières, telles que des rayons beaucoup plus grands que ceux des noyaux voisins. Les noyaux 6He et 11Li sont des exemples typiques, et sont décrits par des structures alpha+n+n et 9Li+n+n, respectivement. La principale technique expérimentale pour étudier ces noyaux consiste à développer des faisceaux d’ions radioactifs, et à mesurer la section efficace de dissociation sur des cibles lourdes. Les données expérimentales nécessitent donc le développement de modèles théoriques précis pour leur interprétation.<p><p>Mon travail a consisté en le développement de la méthode eikonale pour décrire les processus de diffusion élastique et de dissociation. Cette méthode nécessite les fonctions d’onde du projectile qui, dans le cas présent, est décrit par une structure à trois corps. Cette situation rend les calculs particulièrement difficiles, en particulier pour la réaction de dissociation où les fonctions d’onde du continu à trois corps sont nécessaires. Les fonctions d’onde à trois corps sont décrites dans le cadre des coordonnées hypersphériques, à la fois pour les états liés et pour les états de diffusion.<p><p>J'ai d'abord calculé les sections efficaces de dissociation de 6He en utilisant des fonctions d'onde & / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

>Magister Scientiae - MSc / Physics is the study of natural phenomena. Nuclear physicists have since the discovery of the nucleus been working on understanding its dynamics. The nuclear chart, analogous to the periodic table of elements, is illustrated in Fig. 1.1 and color coded according to decay modes. Several theoretical models, based on various hypothesis, have been developed during the years in order to understand nuclear phenomena such as nucleon-nucleon (n-n) interactions, binding energies, radii, excited states, etc. Unfortunately, no-unique model is actually able to grasp all nuclear phenomena at the desired level of accuracy. Among the di erent models, we notice that two distinct hypotheses can be used to describe nuclear properties. Firstly, the independent particle shell model (IPSM) + the n-n residual interaction, which assumes that a nucleon moves independently in a potential generated by other nucleons. Secondly, the macroscopic models, where a nucleus is considered as a whole, i.e. neutrons and protons behave cooperatively and are mutually coupled to each other; highlighting the short-ranged character of the nuclear force. The liquid-drop model is an example of such macroscopic models. Re nement of these models is dependent on experimental observations that are better detailed for nuclei along the line of - stability, making up a small fraction of the known isotopes, as shown in Fig. 1.1. In practice, various techniques for studying exotic nuclei up to neutron and proton drip-lines have been devised, including the use of radioactive ion beams. However, the main challenges are the synthesization and short lived periods of these exotic nuclei resulting in insu cient data collection from which the characteristics and structural information are extracted. In general, nuclei have unique structures represented by a particular con guration as given by the shell model (SM). These structures impact a number of physical quantities, e.g. transition probabilities, cross sections and photon-strength functions. Experimental methods such as Coulomb excitation or electromagnetic radiation are used to probe these structures without invoking the nuclear force.

Investigação da estrutura de núcleos exóticos é uma área bastante ativa da Física Nuclear atual. O desenvolvimento dessa área foi acentuado com a possibilidade de uso de feixes radioativos. Inspirados nessa possibilidade, laboratórios espalhados pelo mundo estão se desenvolvendo para produzir feixes radioativos de núcleos cada vez mais ricos em prótons ou em nêutrons. O uso de elementos radioativos como feixes têm oferecido oportunidades novas e únicas para pesquisa em física nuclear. Questões fundamentais tais como qual a natureza da matéria nuclear e como elementos pesados são sintetizados em novas, supernovas e estrelas de nêutrons podem ser abordadas em investigações utilizando-se feixes radioativos. Neste trabalho abordamos a produção de alguns desses feixes na região de massa A=10 e 15, especificamente, 10Be, 12B, 14C e 15C. Descrevemos métodos de produção e aplicamos simulações para produção de feixes com esses núcleos. Abordamos as peculiaridades na produção de cada um deles com o intuito de produzir feixes o mais intenso e puros possíveis. Nas simulações utilizamos a plataforma Lise++ baseada em método de Monte Carlo e foi dada ênfase na utilização de um sistema de duplo-solenoides. As simulações foram comparadas com resultados experimentais obtidos com esse sistema para os feixes de 12B e 14C, onde um bom acordo foi obtido. / Nuclear Structure Investigations of exotic nuclei is currently a very active area of Nuclear Physics. Many laboratories around the world are developing their system to produce radioactive beams of nuclei rich in protons or neutrons. The use of these radioactive elements as beams has offered new and unique opportunities for research in nuclear physics. Fundamental questions such as what the nature of nuclear matter is and how heavy elements are synthesized in novae, supernovae and neutron stars can be addressed in investigations using radioactive beams. In this work we address the production of some of these beams in the region of mass A = 10 and 15, specifically 10Be, 12B e 14,15C. We describe production methods and apply simulations using the plataforma Lise++ with Monte Carlo method. We addressed the peculiarities related to the production of each of them, in the sense to get the most intense and pure secondary radioactive beams possible. In the simulations, emphasis was given to the use of a double-solenoid system. The simulations were compared with experimental results obtained with these systems for the 12B and 14C beams, where a good agreement was obtained.
