[en] The differential cross section of elastic and inelastic scattering of ³He on ¹³C at 37.9 MeV was measured. The optical potential parameters were obtained by fitting the angular distribution for the elastic scattering and were used in the microscopic analysis of the levels 3.09 (1/2⁺) MeV, 3.68 (3/2^-) MeV, 3.85 (5/2⁺) MeV, 7.55 (5/2^-) MeV, 8.84 (1/2^-) MeV, and 11.85 (7/2⁺) MeV. A strong dependence of the absolute value of the differential cross section on the microscopic interaction parameters (whose radial dependence was of the Yukawa type) was observed, both for the central and spin-dependent terms. Although the majority of the low-lying levels of ¹³C exhibit a collective behavior, the microscopic description using simple wave functions is satisfactory, and a good agreement with the experiment can even be achieved by a final fitting of the microscopic interaction parameters
