Abstract
The approximation to a folding potential by means of a Taylor expansion of the Woods-Saxon (or similar) potential up to an order as high as eight is likely to be far from reasonable unless the range of densities is small not only compared with the distance where the folding is computed but also with the diffuseness of the potential: the latter condition is hardly fulfilled at the relevant distances in an optical potential for heavy ions.
