Evidence for the constant-matrix-element mechanism in the breakup of the3He+7Li system and highly excited states in6Li

The inclusive alpha particle spectra from the breakup of the3He+7Li system atE3He=42.9 MeV are analyzed in the frame of the nuclear reaction model whose matrix element does not depend on the relative energies of the outgoing particles and is therefore constant. The comparison with a recent analysis of thep+9Be interaction, leading to the same composite system, has shown the correlation of the final-state configuration on the entrance-channel cluster structure.
