Abstract

An optical-model analysis of the scattering of 60-MeV α particles by Ni58, Ni60, Ni62, and Ni64 has been performed with particular emphasis placed on (1) the significance of the backward-angle data with respect to removal of potential ambiguities and (2) the extent to which α elastic scattering at this energy is sensitive to the interior detail of the potential. In the Ni58 case, six equivalent potentials are found to fit the diffraction scattering region (θ<70), but only two of these simultaneously provide acceptable fits in the backward-angle region. It is shown that the detailed form of the real potential significantly affects the scattering only at distances beyond ∼4 fm. The 60-MeV α probe is not sensitive to the detail of the total potential inside of ∼3 fm in any way that affects the elastic cross section.
