Microscopic Optical Potentials for Helium-6 Scattering off Protons
Abstract
The differential cross section and the analyzing power are calculated for elastic scattering of
6
He from a proton target using a microscopic folding optical potential, in which the
6
He nucleus is described in terms of a
4
He-core with two additional neutrons in the valence p-shell. In contrast to previous work of that nature, all contributions from the interaction of the valence neutrons with the target protons are taken into account.
