Optical potential description of (16)O + (28)Si elastic scattering

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5373706
Elastic scattering data for /sup 16/O + /sup 28/Si were analyzed using a local optical potential model whose real part consists of a double-folded potential supplemented by a phenomenological model-independent correction term. A good fit for energies between 21 and 35 MeV was obtained over the whole angular range from 20 degrees to 180 degrees. The real correction term was found to be predominantly attractive and to have a structure which varies little with bombarding energy. The associated imaginary potentials imply surface transparency and have detailed structure which varies rapidly with energy. A systematic trend for the absorptive region to extend to larger radii as the energy increases was noted. A simple parameterization of this trend enabled the main features of the excitation function for 180 degree scattering to be reproduced.
