Abstract

We present a determination of optical potentials for $^{10}\mathrm{Be}$-nucleus collisions using the double-folding method to compute the real part and Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations to derive the imaginary part. As microscopic inputs we use chiral effective field theory nucleon-nucleon interactions at next-to-next-to-leading order combined with state-of-the-art nucleonic densities. With these potentials, we compute elastic-scattering cross sections for the exotic nucleus $^{10}\mathrm{Be}$ off various targets, and compare them to experiment. Without any fitting parameter, we obtain good agreement with data. For collisions on light targets, we observe significant uncertainty related to the short-range physics, whereas for heavy targets that uncertainty remains small.
