Abstract

Angular distributions for the elastic scattering of 52 MeV deuterons were measured from 27 nuclei ranging from hydrogen to uranium. The experimental data have been analysed in terms of the optical model. The inclusion of a vector spin-orbit term in the potential is necessary for nuclei with A > 100. For light nuclei with 12 ≦ A ≦ 50, good fits to the experimental angular distributions could also be obtained without a spin-orbit potential. The optical-model parameters for nuclei with A ≧ 12 are discussed with respect to the dependence on the energy E, the charge Z and the mass A. The A-dependence of the real potential depth V can be understood as a consequence of the spatial polarization of the deuteron during the scattering process. Discrepancies between optical-model calculations and experimental angular distributions observed in the elastic scattering processes from 1H, 3He, and 4He indicate contributions from transfer reactions.
