Abstract

We investigate the continuum-discretized coupled-channel analysis to the integrated elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections for 6,7 Li + n reactions. We used the Jeukenne- Lejeune-Mahaux effective nucleon-nucleon interaction and optical model potential at incident neutron energies below and above 10 MeV, respectively. The calculated elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections with observed incident energies are almost in good agreement with experimental and evaluated data. cross sections for 6,7 Li at incident neutron energies below 10 MeV by using optical model potential (OMP) (7,8) and above 10 MeV by using JLM. We adjust the normalization constants for the OMP, because the agreement of the calculated cross sections with the data in very low incident energies of the neutron is insufficient without any adjustments. The energy dependent normalization constants, real part λv and imaginary part λw, of the OMP and JLM are determined explicitly from the integrated elastic cross section data, respectively. Comparing the results of calculations with experimental data, we discuss that the present CDCC calculations, which reproduce the experimental data observed in incident energies higher than 10 MeV with the single folding potential of the JLM and in lower energies with introducing the normalization factors for the cluster folding potential of the OMP.

Highlights

  • The Li + n reactions are important from the basic interest and from the application point of view

  • In the previous works [1,2,3], we have successfully studied cross sections for the 6,7Li + n elastic and inelastic scattering angular distributions and neutron spectra applying the continuum-discretized coupled-channel method (CDCC) method [4] with (α - d) + n and (α - t) + n models

  • It was found that the observed cross section data for incident energies from 7.47 to 24 MeV can be reproduced by the present cluster model with one normalization parameter for the imaginary part of the JeukenneLejeune-Mahaux effective nucleon-nucleon (JLM) [5] interaction

Summary

Introduction

The Li + n reactions are important from the basic interest and from the application point of view. In the previous works [1,2,3], we have successfully studied cross sections for the 6,7Li + n elastic and inelastic scattering angular distributions and neutron spectra applying the continuum-discretized coupled-channel method (CDCC) method [4] with (α - d) + n and (α - t) + n models. It was found that the observed cross section data for incident energies from 7.47 to 24 MeV can be reproduced by the present cluster model with one normalization parameter for the imaginary part of the JeukenneLejeune-Mahaux effective nucleon-nucleon (JLM) [5] interaction. It is still difficult to reproduce low energy data below 14.1 MeV in these frameworks
