Existence of core excited 8Be* = α+α* cluster structure in α+α scattering

We show the existence of the α+α * cluster structure at the highly excited energy around Ex =20 MeV in 8Be for the first time in the coupled channels calculations. An extended double folding model derived using a realistic precise cluster wave function with a well-developed N+3N cluster structure for the first excited state of 4He was employed. The calculation reproduces the experimental phase shifts in α+α scattering up to Ec.m. =21 MeV well. The result shows that the well-developed core-excited α+α * structure appears as resonances for L=0 and 2 near the α+α * threshold which correspond to the experimental states at Ex =20.20MeV and Ex =22.24MeV in 8Be.

Folding model analysis of 28Si elastic scattering using different density distributions

The elastic scattering cross-sections of [Formula: see text]Si projectile by [Formula: see text]Al, [Formula: see text]Si, [Formula: see text]Ni, [Formula: see text]Ni and [Formula: see text]Pb targets are analyzed using the double folding model based on the effective M3Y interaction which is known as the most popular density independent form. In the calculations of the double folding model, 16 different density distributions of [Formula: see text]Si nucleus are examined. A very good agreement between experimental data and theoretical results is obtained, and also the literature results support our results. In addition, dependence on incident energy, target atomic number and target mass number of the imaginary potential depth is studied, and new and global equations are proposed.

A comprehensive description of elastic scattering angular distributions for eight different density distribution of 32S nucleus

The elastic scattering angular distributions of 32S projectile by 12C, 27Al, 40Ca, 48Ca, 48Ti, 58Ni, 63Cu, 64Ni, 76Ge, 96Mo and 100Mo targets over the energy range 83.3 - 180 MeV are analyzed in the framework of the double folding model based on the optical model. The real part of the optical model potential is obtained by using double folding model for eight different density distributions of 32S which consist of Ngo, SP, 2pF, G1, G2, S, 3pF, and HFB. The imaginary part of the optical model potential is accepted as the Woods-Saxon (WS) potential. The theoretical results successfully reproduce the experimental data over both a wide energy and a wide target nucleus. Finally, simple and useful formulas which predict imaginary potential depths of each density are derived based on the elastic scattering results.

Double-Folding Nucleus-Nucleus Optical Potential: Parallel MPI and OpenMP Implementations

The computation of the real part of the nucleus-nucleus optical potential based on the microscopic double-folding model was implemented within both the MPI and OpenMP parallelising techniques. Test calculations of the total cross section of the 6He + 28Si scattering at the energy 50 A MeV show that both techniques provide significant comparable speedup of the calculations.
