Role of heavy particle stripping in /sup 3/He+/sup 4/He elastic scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The contribution of the heavy particle stripping mechanism to the elastic scattering of /sup 3/He on /sup 4/He is calculated using a modified distorted-wave Born approximation approach. The resulting amplitude is combined with a conventional optical potential amplitude and the calculated cross sections are compared with measurements at E/sub c.m./ = 60 and 113 MeV. It is found that the heavy particle stripping mechanism produces most of the observed cross sections backward of q/sub c.m./ = 100/sup 0/ and that it has very little effect on forward cross sections.
