Optical model analyses for the elastic scattering of $^8$B, $^7$Be and $^6$Li with $^{12}$C

Abstract

Fission, break-up and direct reactions of stable, halo or weakly bound nuclei have intensively been investigated in recent years. The elastic scattering angular distributions of ⁸B, ⁷Be and ⁶Li on a ¹²C target have been analyzed within the framework of the optical model by using the phenomenological and microscopic potentials. The effect of clustering in explaining the nuclear deformation for the fission and break-up cases is very important and total reaction cross sections have been calculated from the elastic scattering analysis for the systems. The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data and the break-up effects have an important effect in explaining ⁸B+¹²C system within the cluster model.
