Abstract
The observed target mass dependence of the volume integral per interacting nucleon pair of the real optical model potential for deuterons, helium-3 and alpha particles is explained in terms of the density dependence of the effective projectile-nucleon interaction. A mass dependence function for light ions is derived, which for density dependent forces consists of a volume, a surface, a curvature, and a higher order correction term. For non-saturating forces, this has only the volume term and fails to account for the observed mass dependence.
