Microscopic few-body and Gaussian-shaped density distributions for the analysis of the 6He exotic nucleus with different target nuclei

Abstract

The elastic scattering angular distributions of 6He projectile on different medium and heavy mass target nuclei including 12C, 27Al, 58Ni, 64Zn, 65Cu, 197Au, 208Pb and 209Bi have been examined by using the few-body and Gaussian-shaped density distributions at various energies. The microscopic real parts of the complex nuclear optical potential have been obtained by using the double-folding model for each of the density distributions and the phenomenological imaginary potentials have been taken as the Woods–Saxon type. Comparative results of the few-body and Gaussian-shaped density distributions together with the experimental data are presented within the framework of the optical model.
