Global alpha-particle optical potentials
Abstract
A search for a global optical potential (for alpha-particles) is described. It was not possible to find a potential that was valid for a wide range of energies and nuclei, even treating the absorbing potential as an adjustable parameter for each nucleus. For practical purposes the best that can be done is to define an average potential, and such a potential is compared with a wide range of experimental data. Its energy variation is determined by fitting the total reaction cross-section.
