Abstract
For the determination of the ${}^{144}$Sm-$\ensuremath{\alpha}$ optical potential we measured the angular distribution of ${}^{144}$Sm$(\ensuremath{\alpha}$,$\ensuremath{\alpha})$${}^{144}$Sm scattering at the energy ${E}_{\mathrm{lab}}=20\mathrm{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ with high accuracy. Using the known systematics of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-nucleus optical potentials we are able to derive the ${}^{144}$Sm-$\ensuremath{\alpha}$ optical potential at the astrophysically relevant energy ${E}_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.}=9.5$ MeV with very limited uncertainties.
