Elastic scattering of 6Li from different target nuclei using continuum discretized coupled channels

In this study, the elastic scattering angular distributions (ADs) for the weakly stable Li-6 nucleus from Ca-40, Ni-58 and Zr-90 targets are theoretically studied at various energies. The ADs for the following systems are considered: The Li-6 + Ca-40 system in the energy range of 32-240MeV; the Li-6 + Ni-58 system in the energy range of 9.9-210MeV; and the Li-6 + Zr-90 system in the energy range of 29.93-240MeV. The sophisticated continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) method is used to reanalyze the considered data. Reasonable agreements between the data considered and the theoretical calculations within the CDCC method are obtained. Values for the reaction cross-sections of the several systems under consideration are extracted, and they are compared to those previously reported ones.
