The contribution of collective or reaction channels to a local optical model potential, OMP, can be readily calculated as a dynamical polarization potential, DPP. The resulting local DPPs commonly have undulatory (`wavy') features, often…
The nuclear optical model potential (OMP) is generally assumed to be independent of the orbital angular momentum, $l$, of the interacting nuclei. Nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions are customarily $l$ independent in…

Analyzing powers and cross sections for the elastic scattering of polarized 7Li by targets of 6Li, 7Li and 12C are shown to depend only on the properties of the projectile for momentum transfers of less than 1.0 fm-1. The result of a…

A study of the interaction of loosely bound nuclei 6,7Li at 9 and 19 AMeV with light targets has been undertaken. With the determination of unambiguous optical potentials in mind, elastic data for four projectile-target combinations and one…

We present a scattering model for nuclei with similar masses. In this three-body model, the projectile has a core+valence structure, whereas the target is identical to the core nucleus. The three-body wave functions must be symmetrized for…
The dynamic polarization potential (DPP) contribution to the effective proton-nucleus interaction, that is due to the coupling of deuteron channels, is evaluated by applying $S_{lj} \to V(r)$ inversion to the elastic channel $S$-matrix from…
Two causes of non-locality inherent in nucleon-nucleus scattering are considered. They are the results of two-nucleon antisymmetry of the projectile with each nucleon in the nucleus and the dynamic polarization potential representation of…
Tamura coupling model has been extended to consider the coupling of additional low-lying rotational bands to the ground state band. Rotational bands are built on vibrational bandheads (even-even targets) or single particle bandheads…
Herein, we investigated the channel coupling (CC) effect on the elastic scatterings of lithium (Li) isotopes ($A =$ 6--9) for the $^{12}$C and $^{28}$Si targets at $E/A =$ 50--60 MeV. The wave functions of the Li isotopes were obtained…
Accurate elastic scattering angular distribution data measured at bombarding energies just above the Coulomb barrier have shapes that can markedly differ from or be the same as the expected classical Fresnel scattering pattern depending on…

Background: An anomaly in the elastic scattering of O-16 on C-12 around 300 MeV was resolved by including collective excitations of both nuclei, leading to a secondary rainbow. There is little systematic knowledge of the contribution of…
