Abstract

The “ψ-potentials” related to the projectile current, introduced in the accompanying paper, are exploited in order to give an alternative and arguably more physical representation of the effect in nucleon scattering which has been shown elsewhere to demand an emissive feature when represented by an l-independent potential. We also show how other l-dependent (Majorana) potentials can be represented as ψ-potentials, but in this case the potential may be essentially emissive by virtue of actual emissive regions within the nucleus.

We present the local and l-rmindependent potentials which are equivalent, in the sense that they yield the same S_l, to the implicit polarization potentials generated by channel coupling, and which have been found by Thompson et al. to explain the threshold anomaly for the case of ¹⁶O on ²⁰⁸Pb. Potentials which fit S_l for all partial waves are irreducibly wavy in r, an effect which appears to be a consequence of the l-dependence of the dynamic polarization potential. To establish these potentials, the “IP” inversion procedure was further developed. Some of our results are unexpected, including a very low degree of energy dependence in the real potential in the energy range between 80 and 102 MeV. The most general aspects of what we find here appear to be consistent with behaviour common to all nucleus-nucleus potentials, including those involving nucleons as projectiles.
Studying the heavy-ion dynamic polarization potential

That part of the dynamic polarization potential due to the coupling to rotational states is represented in three ways: as a local, l-independent potential, S-matrix equivalent to the formal DPP; as an angle dependent ‘ψ-potential’; and as an l-dependent potential. Apart from requiring a selection of particular states, the general approach to the DPP of which we compare three variants, does not require certain commonly imposed approximations. A comparison of the representations of the DPP leads to insight concerning the applicability of simple potential models, general properties of the DPP, estimates of the effects of approximations and indications of the sensitivity of DPP estimations upon the coupling parameters. In particular we show that different extreme sets of parameters, for which (in the case studied) there is insufficient data to categorically eliminate either extreme, lead to DPP's of opposite signs. The emphasis in this paper is on comparing methodologies rather than final conclusions concerning the DPP.
