Validation of an optical potential for incident and emitted low-energy $$\alpha $$-particles in the $$A\sim 60$$ mass range

Abstract

AbstractA consistent set of statistical-model input parameters, validated by analysis of various independent data, makes possible the assessment of an $$\alpha $$ α -particle optical model potential [Phys. Rev. C 90, 044612 (2014)] also for nucleon-induced $$\alpha $$ α -emission within the $$A \sim 60$$ A ∼ 60 mass-number range. The advantage of recent data for low-lying states feeding is taken as well. Consideration of additional reaction channels leading to increase of the $$\alpha $$ α -emission beyond the statistical predictions has concerned the pickup direct interaction and Giant Quadrupole Resonance similar features.
