A theoretical investigation of ⁹Be + ²⁷Al reaction: phenomenological and microscopic model approximation

In this study, we have investigated the elastic scattering of ⁹Be + ²⁷Al reaction using the phenomenological and double-folding model potentials within the framework of the optical model at different incident energies. In the phenomenological and double-folding calculations, we have used new parameters to explain ⁹Be + ²⁷Al reaction. In the framework of double-folding model, the nuclear matter densities of ⁹Be projectile and ²⁷Al target have been folded with the complex energy depending on the effective M3Y interaction. The imaginary potentials have been taken as Woods–Saxon volume shape. The real radius r v and imaginary radius r w parameters have been fixed to 1.2 fm in all the calculations. The cross sections, the potential volume integrals and χ 2/N values have been obtained for nine energies. (author)
