Description
We use the Continuum Discretized Coupled Channels (CDCC) method to study in detail the similarities and differences between neutron and proton halo breakup cross sections including total, nuclear, and
Coulomb contributions in the breakup reactions of 8B→7Be+p and 8Be→7Be+n on various target nuclei (28Si, 120Sn and 236U). Our preliminary results reveal that the neutron halo breakup cross sections are generally larger than those of the proton halo. Additionally, we find that continuum-
continuum couplings are stronger in the neutron halo breakup than in the proton halo breakup.
