A radioactive nuclear beam of 10.2 MeV [sup 6]He, with typical intensity 5[times]10[sup 4] s[sup [minus]1], was produced via the [sup 9]Be([sup 7]Li,[sup 6]He)[sup 10]B reaction and elastically scattered from targets of [sup 12]C, [sup nat]Ni, and [sup 197]Au. Scattering from C and Ni was observed through sufficiently large angles (up to 60[degree] c.m. and 85[degree] c.m., respectively) to show large deviations from Rutherford scattering. The Au target gave, as expected, pure Rutherford scattering. Optical potential previously used for low-energy [sup 6]Li and [sup 8]Li ions generally accounted for the shapes of the angular distributions but, for [sup 12]C, predict oscillations not present in the [sup 6]He data. [sup 4]He optical potentials predict much smaller deviations from Rutherford scattering than those observed.
