Cluster-folding analysis of →6+26Mg scattering at 60 MeV

Data for the elastic and inelastic scattering of 60 MeV polarized Li-6 by Mg-26 have been analyzed using coupled-channels (CC) techniques. The diagonal and off-diagonal interaction potentials used in the analysis were derived from empirical alpha + Mg-26 and d + Mg-26 optical model potentials by means of the cluster-folding method. The effects of projectile excitation to the three low-lying T = 0 resonant states, as well as to nonresonant continuum states ranging from 2.1 MeV to 11.5 MeV excitation energy relative to the Li-6 ground state, have also been studied. A good description of the data has been achieved without renormalization of the interaction potentials.
