Abstract
An extended analysis has been performed of elastic-scattering and reaction cross-sections of deuterons on the Al 27 nucleus, for deuteron energies from 3 to 60 MeV, based on a semi-microscopic optical potential with a double-folding real part and phenomenological imaginary and spin-orbit terms. An increased effort is devoted to the breakup mechanism, the analysis of proton-emission spectra and angular distributions from deuteron-induced reactions on nuclei from Al to Pb, at incident energies from 15 to 80 MeV, providing the energy- and mass-dependence of the breakup mechanism contribution. The corresponding direct-reaction cross-sections within the same energy range has then been analyzed, the improved description of both the elastic-scattering and reaction measured data backing the proper use of these optical potentials for deuteron activation assessment.
