The $^9$C nucleus and related capture reaction, ${^8mathrm{B}}(p,gamma){^9mathrm{C}}$, have been intensively studied with an astrophysical interest. Due to the weakly-bound nature of $^9$C, its structure is likely to be described as the three-body (${^7mathrm{Be}}+p+p$). Its continuum structure is also important to describe reaction processes of $^9$C, with which the reaction rate of the ${^8mathrm{B}}(p,gamma){^9mathrm{C}}$ process have been extracted indirectly. We perform three-body calculations on $^9$C and discuss properties of its ground and low-lying states via breakup reactions. We employ the three-body model of $^9$C using the Gaussian-expansion method combined with the complex-scaling method. This model is implemented in the four-body version of the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method, by which breakup reactions of $^9$C are studied. The intrinsic spin of $^7$Be is disregarded. By tuning a three-body interaction in the Hamiltonian of $^9$C, we obtain the low-lying $2^+$ state with the resonant energy 0.781 MeV and the decay width 0.137 MeV, which is consistent with the available experimental information and a relatively high-lying second $2^+$ wider resonant state. Our calculation predicts also sole $0^+$ and three $1^-$ resonant states. We discuss the role of these resonances in the elastic breakup cross section of $^9$C on $^{208}$Pb at 65 and 160 MeV/A. The low-lying 2$^+$ state is probed as a sharp peak of the breakup cross section, while the 1$^-$ states enhance the cross section around 3 MeV. Our calculations will further support the future and ongoing experimental campaigns for extracting astrophysical information and evaluating the two-proton removal cross-sections.

We present a recently developed theory for the inclusive breakup of three-fragment projectiles within a four-body spectator model cite{CarPLB2017}, for the treatment of the elastic and inclusive non-elastic break up reactions involving weakly bound three-cluster nuclei in $A,(a,b),X$ / $a = x_1 + x_2 + b$ collisions. The four-body theory is an extension of the three-body approaches developed in the 80s by Ichimura, Autern and Vincent (IAV) cite{IAV1985}, Udagawa and Tamura (UT) cite{UT1981} and Hussein and McVoy (HM) cite{HM1985}. We expect that experimentalists shall be encouraged to search for more information about the $x_{1} + x_{2}$ system in the elastic breakup cross section and that also further developments and extensions of the surrogate method will be pursued, based on the inclusive non-elastic breakup part of the $b$ spectrum.
We investigate the three-body Coulomb breakup of a two-neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Li. We use the coupled-channel $^9$Li + $n$ + $n$ three-body model, which includes the coupling between last neutron states and the various $2p$-$2h$ configurations in $^9$Li due to the tensor and pairing correlations. The three-body scattering states of $^{11}$Li are described by using the combined methods of the complex scaling and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. The calculated breakup cross section successfully reproduces the experiments. The large mixing of the s-state in the halo ground state of $^{11}$Li is shown to play an important role in explanation of shape and strength of the breakup cross section. In addition, we predict the invariant mass spectra for binary subsystems of $^{11}$Li. It is found that the two kinds of virtual s-states of $^9$Li-$n$ and $n$-$n$ systems in the final three-body states of $^{11}$Li largely contribute to make low-lying peaks in the invariant mass spectra. On the other hand, in the present analysis, it is suggested that the contributions of the p-wave resonances of $^{10}$Li is hardly confirmed in the spectra.
We discuss the dynamical generation of some low-lying $1/2^+$ $Sigma$s and $Lambda$s in two-meson one-baryon systems. These systems have been constructed by adding a pion in $S$-wave to the $bar{K} N$ pair and its coupled channels, where the $1/2^-$ $Lambda$(1405)-resonance gets dynamically generated. We solve Faddeev equations in the coupled-channel approach to calculate the $T$-matrix for these systems as a function of the total energy and the invariant mass of one of the meson-baryon pairs. This squared $T$-matrix shows peaks at the energies very close to the masses of the strangeness -1, $1/2^+$ resonances listed in the particle data book.
We propose alternatives to coupled-channels calculations with loosely-bound exotic nuclei (CDCC), based on the the random matrix (RMT) and the optical background (OPM) models for the statistical theory of nuclear reactions. The coupled channels equations are divided into two sets. The first set, described by the CDCC, and the other set treated with RMT. The resulting theory is a Statistical CDCC (CDCC$_S$), able in principle to take into account many pseudo channels.
We demonstrate, within symmetry unrestricted time-dependent density functional theory, the existence of new effects in low-energy nuclear reactions which originate from superfluidity. The dynamics of the pairing field induces solitonic excitations in the colliding nuclear systems, leading to qualitative changes in the reaction dynamics. The solitonic excitation prevents collective energy dissipation and effectively suppresses fusion cross section. We demonstrate how the variations of the total kinetic energy of the fragments can be traced back to the energy stored in the superfluid junction of colliding nuclei. Both contact time and scattering angle in non-central collisions are significantly affected. The modification of the fusion cross section and possibilities for its experimental detection are discussed.
