Nucleon-knockout reactions on proton targets (p, pN ) have experienced a renewed interest due to the availability of inverse-kinematics experiment with exotic nuclei. Various theoretical descriptions have been used to describe these reactions, such as the Distorted-Wave Impulse Approximation (DWIA), the Faddeev-type formalism and the Transfer to the Continuum method. Our goal is to benchmark the observables computed with the Faddeev and Transfer to the Continuum formalisms in the intermediate energy regime relevant for the experimental (p, pn) and (p, 2p) studies. In this paper, we analyze the 11 Be(p,pn)10Be reaction for different beam energies, binding energies and orbital quantum numbers with both formalisms to assess their agreement for different observables. We obtain a good agreement in all cases considered, within 10%, when the input potentials are taken consistently and realistically.

The finite range adiabatic wave approximation provides a practical method to analyze (d,p) or (p,d) reactions, however until now the level of accuracy obtained in the description of the reaction dynamics has not been determined. In this work, we perform a systematic comparison between the finite range adiabatic wave approximation and the exact Faddeev method. We include studies of $^{11}$Be(p,d)$^{10}$Be(g.s.) at $E_p=$5, 10 and 35 MeV; $^{12}$C(d,p)$^{13}$C(g.s.) at $E_d=$7, 12 and 56 MeV and $^{48}$Ca(d,p)$^{49}$Ca(g.s.) at $E_d=$19, 56 and 100 MeV. Results show that the two methods agree within $approx 5%$ for a range of beam energies ($E_d approx 20-40$ MeV) but differences increase significantly for very low energies and for the highest energies. Our tests show that ADWA agrees best with Faddeev when the angular momentum transfer is small $Delta l=0$ and when the neutron-nucleus system is loosely bound.
[Background] Proton-induced knockout reactions of the form $(p,pN)$ have experienced a renewed interest in recent years due to the possibility of performing these measurements with rare isotopes, using inverse kinematics. Several theoretical models are being used for the interpretation of these new data, such as the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA), the transition amplitude formulation of the Faddeev equations due to Alt, Grassberger and Sandhas (FAGS) and, more recently, a coupled-channels method here referred to as transfer-to-the-continuum (TC). [Purpose] Our goal is to compare the momentum distributions calculated with the DWIA and TC models for the same reactions, using whenever possible the same inputs (e.g. distorting potential). A comparison with already published results for the FAGS formalism is performed as well. [Method] We choose the $^{15}$C($p$,$pn$)$^{14}$C reaction at an incident energy of 420 MeV/u, which has been previously studied with the FAGS formalism. The knocked-out neutron is assumed to be in a $2s$ single-particle orbital. Longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions are calculated for different assumed separation energies. [Results] For all cases considered, we find a very good agreement between DWIA and TC results. The energy dependence of the distorting optical potentials is found to affect in a modest way the shape and magnitude of the momentum distributions. Moreover, when relativistic kinematics corrections are omitted, our calculations reproduce remarkably well the FAGS result. [Conclusions] The results found in this work provide confidence on the consistency and accuracy of the DWIA and TC models for analyzing momentum distributions for $(p,pn)$ reactions at intermediate energies.
Background: Proton-induced nucleon knockout $(p,pN)$ reactions have been successfully used to study the single-particle nature of stable nuclei in normal kinematics with the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA) framework. Recently, these reactions have been applied to rare-isotope beams at intermediate energies in inverse kinematics to study the quenching of spectroscopic factors. Purpose: Our goal is to investigate the effects of various corrections and uncertainties within the standard DWIA formalism on the $(p,pN)$ cross sections. The consistency of the extracted reduction factors between DWIA and other methods is also evaluated. Method: We analyze the $(p,2p)$ and $(p,pn)$ reactions data measured at the R$^3$B/LAND setup at GSI for carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotopes in the incident energy range of 300--450 MeV/u. Cross sections and reduction factors are calculated by using the DWIA method. The transverse momentum distribution of the $^{12}$C($p$,$2p$)$^{11}$B reaction is also investigated. Results: We have found that including the nonlocality corrections and the Mo ller factor affects the cross sections considerably. The proton-neutron asymmetry dependence of reduction factors extracted by the DWIA calculation is very weak and consistent with those given by other reaction methods and textit{ab initio} structure calculations. Conclusions: The results found in this work provide a detailed investigation of the DWIA method for $(p,pN)$ reactions at intermediate energies. They also suggest that some higher-order effects, which is essential for an accurate cross-section description at large recoil momentum, is missing in the current DWIA and other reaction models.
Recently, the bound and continuum spectrum of 11Be has been calculated within the ab-initio no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC) method successfully reproducing the parity inversion in the ground state. The continuum spectrum obtained is in agreement with known experimental levels. The S-matrix contained in the NCSMC continuum wave functions of the n+10Be system is used in this work for the first time in a Transfer-to-the-Continuum (TC) reaction calculation. The TC approach is applied to study the excitation energy spectrum of 11Be measured in the 9Be(18O,16O)11Be reaction at 84 MeV. Previously known levels are confirmed and theoretical and experimental evidence for a 9/2+ state at Ex=5.8 MeV is given, whose configuration is thought to be 10Be(2+)+n(d5/2).
An improved description of single neutron stripping from $^{34,36,46}$Ar beams at 33 MeV/nucleon by a hydrogen target is presented and the dependence on the neutron-proton asymmetry of the spectroscopic factors is further investigated. A finite range adiabatic model is used in the analysis and compared to previous zero range and local energy approximations. Full three-body Faddeev calculations are performed to estimate the error in the reaction theory. In addition, errors from the optical potentials are also evaluated. From our new spectroscopic factors extracted from transfer, it is possible to corroborate the neutron-proton asymmetry dependence reported from knockout measurements.
