Strong direct processes were observed for elastic breakup in 54-MeV Li-7 + C-12, Au-197 reactions. In the case of C-12, the observed Li-7 to alpha + t direct-breakup yield was significantly larger than predicted by a Coulomb-breakup calculation, indicating the importance of the nuclear field. For Au-197, final-state interactions produced a strong distortion in the fragment energy spectra, as well as a modulation of the coincidence efficiency for different detector geometries. Such Coulomb effects are found to severely complicate the extraction of radiative-capture cross sections from direct-breakup data.
