Abstract

In the present project we propose an study of the elastic scattering and nuclear reactions with the secondary beams of exotic nuclei produced in the RIBRAS system in the energies of the São paulo Pelletron accelerator (1-5 MeV/A) as well as in the improvement of the RIBRAS system itself.Systematic measurements of elastic scattering of using the 6He, 8Li e 7Be nuclei in several targets have been performed at RIBRAS. The informations obtained with those measurements can help in the understanding of the nuclear structure of those nuclei, in the reaction mechanism and possibily in the Nuclear Astrophysics.
