Elastic scattering and breakup effect analysis ofBe11+C12at 38.4 MeV/nucleon

Abstract

{sup 11}Be+{sup 12}C elastic-scattering data at 38.4 MeV/nucleon has been analyzed using the optical model. The optical potential is calculated in the framework of the double folding model using M3Y effective nucleon-nucleon interaction. Different models of {sup 11}Be density are tested and the model that does not include the halo structure gives poor fitting with data. The breakup effect is studied by introducing a complex dynamical polarization potential (DPP) that is added to the ''bare'' potential. The DPP is taken in different forms that have been obtained from simple phenomenological, semiclassical approximation, and microscopic methods. The simple phenomenological DPP is related to the semiclassical approximation method. The sensitivity of the differential and reaction cross sections to these polarization potentials is tested. The microscopic DPP that has been constructed from the derivative of the folding potential describes the breakup effect well. It gives an explicit justification for the long range of the polarization potential.
