Analysis of elastic scattering of 6Li by 90Zr near Coulomb barrier

We use a phenomenological optical potential constructed in consideration of a versatile potential developed by Joseph N. Ginocchio. The optical potential uses less number of energy-dependent parameters to analyse nuclear scattering data. We study the ratios of elastic to Rutherford differential scattering cross sections of the system Li-6 + Zr-90 at various energies, namely, 10.19, 11.11, 12.07, 13.95, 15.84, 17.71, 19.60, 23.36, 28.05 and 31.87 MeV in the centre-of-mass system. The study of angular distributions is performed in a wide angular range. Our theoretical calculations explain the experimental results and follow breakup threshold anomaly phenomenon near the Coulomb barrier. We discuss the variation of reflection function |S (l) | with 'l' for each contributing partial wave and calculate reaction cross section for the system against the projectile energy 31.87 MeV with permissible error.
