Elastic scattering of light nuclei by deuterons with different models

Abstract

Deuteron elastic scattering from various targets has been reanalyzed in the context of the double folding optical model (DFOM) and the cluster folding model (CFM) over the 8–50[Formula: see text]MeV energy range. 6Li, 7Li, 9Be and [Formula: see text]B are the four targets considered. In DFOM calculations, the real part of the nuclear potential is constructed based on the M3Y effective interaction in addition to an imaginary volume part which has a conventional Woods–Saxon form to simulate the reduction in flux. Special attention has been paid to the cluster structure of the considered targets which leads in many cases to a significant rise in differential cross-section at backward angles due to different transfer probabilities. Spectroscopic amplitudes for the following configurations: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are extracted and compared to the previously available reported values. The energy dependence on real and imaginary volume integrals is studied. Using the phenomenological optical model, DFOM and CFM, a reasonable fit for the angular distribution of the various considered nuclear systems was obtained.
