ADIABATIC TREATMENT OF ELASTIC DEUTERON-NUCLEUS SCATTERING

We calculate the elastic deuteron-58Ni scattering at 80 MeV, 52 MeV and 21.6 MeV in the framework of the three-body model with the adiabatic approximation. The contribution from the s-wave and d-wave breakup channels is quite important and that from the g-wave breakup channel is very small. The calculation including these effects is found to give a good account of the elastic d-58Ni scattering at 80 MeV. The agreement between the calculated and the observed cross sections is fairly good at 52 MeV, but becomes poor at 21.6 MeV. © 1979.
