EXTENDED OPTICAL MODEL ANALYSES FOR 9Be + 144Sm SYSTEM NEAR COULOMB BARRIER ENERGIES
Within the framework of an extended optical model, we study elastic scattering and fusion cross section data for 9 Be + 144 Sm system near Coulomb barrier energies to determine the polarization potential decomposed into direct reaction and fusion parts. We show that the direct reaction and fusion potentials extracted from χ2 analyses separately satisfy the dispersion relation and that the threshold anomaly exhibits in the fusion part. The analyses using only elastic scattering and fusion data can furnish very consistent and reliable predictions of cross sections even though the direct reaction cross section data are not enough. From these analyses, we also obtain the semi-experimental α single and α–α coincidence cross sections, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], for 9 Be + 144 Sm system.
