Description

Recently, there has been significant progress in the use of ab inito approaches for theoretical studies of nuclear structure, which is why there is increasing interest in the structure of the lightest exotic nuclei, the description of which is an important test of ab inito approaches.

The direct (in particular $(d,p)$) reactions are actively used to study nuclei beyond neutron stability. In the direct reactions, alignment-interference effects, leading to specific correlations of the decay products of the nuclear system, may be observed. We can show, that such correlations can be much more sensitive to the properties of the nuclear interaction than the inclusive spectrum and differential cross-section, which are usually studied in experiments. Therefore, correlation measurements is an important additional source of information about the nuclear structure.

On the example of a quite simple model, we demonstrate in the report the effects of alignment-interference in direct reactions and common correlations patterns for various nuclear systems. The main features and advantages of the correlation experiment also highlighted in the report.
