An Analysis of Elastic Scattering Angular Distributions of ^17 F on a ^208 Pb Target at Different Energies

This study investigated the elastic scattering of a ^17 F +^208 Pb system at different energies using the Continuum-Discretized Coupled Channels (CDCC) method. A microscopic optical model was selected and double-folding potential was used for the ^16 O + target interaction. The real part of the optical model was determined as folding potential and the imaginary part of the optical model was taken as standard volume Woods–Saxon shape. Single-channel and multi-channel CDCC calculations were performed to determine the effect of excited channels. An elastic scattering cross section of the ^17 F +^208 Pb system was calculated and its compatibility with experimental data was determined.
