Abstract

Elastic and inelastic scattering of ⁷Li by ⁵⁸Ni at E_lab = 14.2 and 20.3 MeV is investigated theoretically, special emphasis being laid on polarization phenomena. A parameter-independent study shows second-rank tensor interactions to be the main origin of tensor analyzing powers for both elastic and inelastic scattering. Coupled-channel (CC) calculations using cluster-folding interactions which include the tensor terms are found to be successful in reproducing the data for cross sections and vector and tensor analyzing powers, when projectile excitation effects are sufficiently taken into account. Scattering of ⁶Li by ⁵⁸Ni at E_lab = 20.0 MeV is also investigated by the CC calculation, where successes similar to the ⁷Li case are obtained in understanding experimental data.

Dynamic polarization potential effects on vector analyzing powers of 6Li-28Si elastic scattering from non-monotonic potentials
2010, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
Experimental cross section (CS) and vector analyzing power (VAP) data of the ⁶Li–²⁸Si elastic scattering at 22.8 MeV are analyzed in the coupled-channels (CC) and coupled discretized continuum channels (CDCC) methods. Non-monotonic (NM) ⁶Li and α potentials of microscopic origin are employed, respectively, in the CC calculations and to generate folding potentials for the CDCC calculations. The study demonstrates that the use of central NM potentials can generate an appropriate dynamic polarization potential (DPP) required to describe both the CS and VAP data without the necessity of renormalization. This also produces an effective spin–orbit (SO) potential to account for the $i T_{11}$ data without the requirement of an additional static SO potential at the incident energy considered.
Cluster folding model analysis of 3 He elastic and inelastic scattering from 12 C
2003, Nuclear Physics A
Angular distributions of differential cross sections for the ¹²C(³He, ³He)¹²C, ¹²C(³He, ³He)¹²C^∗ reactions at E=72 MeV have been analyzed with a double folding cluster model DFC based on five sets of the effective N–N interaction of Gaussian form with different parameters. The transition to the (2⁺; 4.44 MeV) state in ¹²C is studied and the deformation length δ₂ is extracted. It is found that the extracted deformation length is sensitive to the nuclear model used and it is similar to the corresponding value found in the literature.
Spin-orbit interactions for 3He-nucleus scattering at intermediate energies
1998, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
The elastic scattering of ³He by a heavy nuclei at $E_{lab} (^{3} He) = 450$ and 217 MeV are studied theoretically based on the single-folding (SF) and the double-folding (DF) models for the interactions between ³He and a target nucleus. The spin-orbit interaction predicted by the folding models plays an important role in elastic scattering and produces a large vector-analyzing power. The validity of the folding models is discussed in comparison with the available experimental data for elastic scattering.
Study of polarized 7Li scattering from 208Pb at 33 MeV
1997, Nuclear Physics A
Elastic and inelastic scattering of polarized ⁷Li from ²⁰⁸Pb at 33 MeV is investigated by means of the continuum-discretized coupled channel method, using diagonal and coupling potentials derived from empirical α, t-target optical model potentials. The effects of the projectile breakup into α + t as well as target excitation and one-neutron transfer reaction are studied. A good description of the experimental data is obtained. The scattering of ⁷Li from ²⁰⁸Pb at 33 MeV is found to be of similar nature to the scattering of ⁶Li from the same target and at the same energy.
The role of breakup in near-barrier 6Li+208Pb scattering
1996, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
Continuum-discretized-coupled-channels (CDCC) calculations for the ⁶Li+²⁰⁸Pb system have been performed at several near-barrier energies using a cluster-folding (CF) model description of the ⁶Li-target interactions. Good agreement with the elastic scattering angular distributions is obtained without the need for re-normalization of the CF potential. Decomposition of the calculated ⁶Li sequential breakup cross section into Coulomb and nuclear components shows that the forward angle cross section is dominated by the Coulomb amplitude at near-barrier energies.
A simple effective interaction for peripheral heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A very simple phenomenological nucleon-nucleon effective interaction is derived by folding-model analyses of 36 sets of heavy-ion elastic-scattering data at energies E/A between 10 and 100 MeV. It is represented by a single Yukawa term with a complex strength that varies slowly with energy. It is appropriate for peripheral collisions at intermediate energies. It is proposed for use in consistent analyses of elastic- and inelastic-scattering measurements. The possible role of spin-orbit coupling in heavy-ion elastic scattering at the higher energies is discussed.
