Abstract
We extend our previous calculation of the breakup of 11Be using Halo Effective Field Theory and the Dynamical Eikonal Approximation to include an effective 10Be-n-target force. The force is constructed to
account for the virtual excitation of 10Be to its low-lying 2+ excited state. In the case of breakup on a 12C target this improves the description of the neutron-energy and angular spectra, especially in the vicinity of the 11Be 5/2 + state. By fine-tuning the range parameters of the three-body force, a reasonable description of data in the region of the 3/2 + 11Be state can also be obtained. This sensitivity to the threebody force’s range results from the structure of the overlap integral that governs the 11Be s-to-d-state transitions which it induces.
