Elastic scattering of 6Li from different target nuclei using continuum discretized coupled channels

Abstract

In this study, the elastic scattering angular distributions (ADs) for the weakly stable 6Li nucleus from [Formula: see text]Ca, [Formula: see text]Ni and [Formula: see text]Zr targets are theoretically studied at various energies. The ADs for the following systems are considered: The [Formula: see text] system in the energy range of 32–240[Formula: see text]MeV; the [Formula: see text] system in the energy range of 9.9–210[Formula: see text]MeV; and the [Formula: see text] system in the energy range of 29.93–240[Formula: see text]MeV. The sophisticated continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) method is used to reanalyze the considered data. Reasonable agreements between the data considered and the theoretical calculations within the CDCC method are obtained. Values for the reaction cross-sections of the several systems under consideration are extracted, and they are compared to those previously reported ones.
