Abstract
We present for the first time evidence for the existence of a dynamically refracted primary bow for Be+O scattering. This is demonstrated through the use of coupled channel calculations with an extended double folding potential derived from the density-dependent effective two-body force and precise microscopic cluster wave functions for Be. The calculations reproduce the experimental Airy structure in Be+O scattering well.It is found that coupling of a weakly bound Be nucleus to excited states plays the role of a booster lens, dynamically enhancing the refraction over the {\it static} refraction due to the Luneburg lens mean field potential between the ground states of Be and O.
