Optical model description of the elastic scattering of 6He from a polarized proton target at 71 MeV/nucleon

Abstract

The vector analyzing power and differential cross section for the elastic scattering of 6He nucleus from polarized protons at 71 MeV/nucleon have been analyzed using the optical model potentials. Different versions of the nuclear potential are constructed using phenomenological potentials and semimicroscopic potentials based upon four different versions of 6He density and three effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. The effects of density dependence and the sensitivity of the cross sections for interactions have been investigated.
