In a previous work, the full Glauber series of the elastic scattering between two cluster nuclei has been evaluated in an approximate way. The present paper introduces a more elaborate technique to calculate such series rigorously. The deuteron-carbon elastic angular distribution is calculated by the two approaches and the results showed that the inaccuracy of the previous approach is significant at large angles. Impressive fit is observed to the experimental data when the phase variation is included in the present analysis.
