Abstract

While 11 Li is known to be a halo nucleus with two neutrons around a 9 Li core, the neutrons in 6 He are predicted to form a skin around its 4 He core. Both nuclei have very low breakup thresholds. To understand the structure and reaction dynamics of these nuclei, a consistent analysis of the available low energy (25–75 A MeV) proton elastic scattering data on 4,6,8 He and 6,7,9,11 Li nuclei is carried out in a folding model framework. A finite-range, momentum, density and isospin dependent NN interaction (SBM) is folded with realistic densities of different nuclei. To fit the elastic angular distribution, the real part of the folded potentials are multiplied by a renormalization factor ( NR ). Except for the p+4 He scattering at low incident energy, the NR values are found to be significantly different from 1.0, indicating appreciable channel coupling effects in the energy region considered. Variation of NR values with incident energies for 6 He and 11 Li is much smaller compared to 8 He and 6 Li.

      This is shown, for example, in [72] for elastic p6He scattering at 717 MeV/nucleon and in [73] for p11Li scattering at 800 MeV/nucleon. In the new versions of the optical model, a phenomenological potential based on effective interaction forces between clusters and nucleons (differing in form from the Woods–Saxon potential) or the potential calculated in the double folding model [74–76], whose input parameters are the matter density distributions in colliding nuclei and effective NN-interactions, are used. As effective NN-forces, M3Y forces (Michigan-3-Yukawa) [77], based on Paris or Reed-Elliot potentials, or alternative JLM-forces are usually used [78,79].

      In these models, various characteristics are calculated, including root-mean-square (rms) radii, magnetic and quadrupole moments, excitation spectra, proton and neutron densities, differential and total cross sections and vector analyzing powers. The values of rms radii are obtained in the calculations in three-body model [12–16], in the multi-particle, calculating by variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method or by the Green functions Monte Carlo (GFMC) method with realistic interactions [17–21], in the no-core large scale shell model (LSSM) [22–24]. The laser-spectroscopic measurements [25,26] allow one to obtain rms radii of light nuclei most precisely.
