Abstract

We present new calculations and experimental measurements of the quasielastic cross section angular distribution for ${}^{8}$He scattering from ${}^{12}$C at 60 MeV/nucleon. ${}^{8}$He is treated as a five-body $\ensuremath{\alpha}+4n$ system and the six-body ${}^{8}$He+target scattering calculations make use of the eikonal few-body method and the cluster orbital shell model approximation for the ${}^{8}$He wave function. The qualitative features of the new data are successfully described without parameter variation. The sensitivity of the calculations to correlations in the ${}^{8}$He wave function is assessed.
