Microscopic and Semi-Microscopic Analysis of the Deuterons Elastically Scattered by Light Nuclei

Abstract

The current study aims to analyze the experimental data for deuterons elastically scattered by ^6,7Li, ⁹Be, and ¹¹B in the energy range from 8 to 50 MeV, applying semi-microscopic and microscopic methods (São Paulo potential (Optical Model) and coupled discretized continuum channels (CDCC)). The double-folding São Paulo Potential (SPP) was used as a real part of optical potential where the Woods–Saxon form was used as an imaginary part. The comparison between the optical model (OM) and the CDCC method is applied to the considered systems. The optical model parameters and the normalization factors have an influence on the fitting of the experimental data. The volume integral of the imaginary part of the optical potential was found to be slightly energy-dependent. Deuterons elastically scattered by light nuclei ^6,7Li, ⁹Be, and ¹¹B were well described using the CDCC method, where the breakup of the deuteron was included during the analysis. The break-up of the deuteron has a significant effect on the calculated reaction cross section σ_R of all the systems under consideration.
