The Effect of Zero-range Pseudo-potential Approximation in the Elastic Scattering Channel Using a Mass-dependent M3Y-type Interaction

The angular distributions of the elastic scattering of deuteron from ¹²C were measured in the double model framework using a mass-dependent M3Y-type interaction. The optical potential of this study was derived using the double folding formalism and subsequently employed in the optical model formalism to determine the reaction cross-sections of d+¹²C at different incident energies. The calculated differential cross-sections were analysed and compared to experimental results. A good fit of the differential cross-section to the experimental data was achieved. The suitability of the fit affirms the present formulation as a suitable tool for the study of nuclear reactions and nuclear structure.
