The 6He Optical Potential at energies around the Coulomb barrier

We present an Optical Model (OM) study of 6He on 208Pb elastic scattering data, measured at laboratory energies around the Coulomb barrier (Elab=14, 16, 18, 22, and 27 MeV) [1]. For the projectile-target bare interaction, we use the microscopic São Paulo Potential (SPP). This bare interaction is supplemented with a Coulomb Dipole Polarization (CDP) potential, as well as a diffuse complex Woods-Saxon potential. Four-body Continuum-Discretized-Coupled-Channels (CDCC) calculations have been performed in order to support the optical model analysis. We have also studied the α channel, which is the dominant reaction process. In the analysis of this channel, we compare the angular and energy distributions of the α particles measured at 22 MeV, with Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) calculations.
