Abstract

Angular distributions of the elastic scattering of 3He by 4He over an angular range θcm = 30° to 150° have been measured for five 3He bombarding energies from 12.0 to 19.0 MeV. A simple optical model with and without a spin-orbit potential has been used to fit the angular distributions. In the resonance free region above 13.5 MeV bombarding energy the optical parameters vary little from U = 100 MeV and W = 10 MeV. These values are more characteristic of alpha-particle scattering than of 3He scattering. The spin-orbit potential of about 20 MeV is much larger than that found with heavier targets.
