Elastic Scattering with Double Folding Model: 8B+27Al

Abstract

In the present work, the elastic scattering of the 8B+27Al reaction at two different energies have been examined using the microscopic double folding potential approximation within the framework of the optical model. The real part of the optical model has been obtained by using Fermi, Gaussian and Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) density distributions in the microscopic double folding model and the imaginary part has been taken as Woods-Saxon volume type. The results of our microscopic analysis are quite compatible with the experimental cross-section data. The reaction cross sections, the volume integrals of used potentials and their χ2/N errors have also been computed. This study is important in showing the effect of microscopically derived potentials in explaining the 8B+27Al experimental data published recently.
