Analysis of deuteron elastic scattering from Li6,7 using the continuum discretized coupled channels method

The continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) approach is applied to analysis of deuteron elastic scattering from Li6,7 in the energy range from 10 to 50 MeV. Phenomenological neutron and proton optical potentials that are essentially important in the CDCC calculation are determined from the present optical model analysis of differential cross sections of nucleon elastic scattering, neutron total cross sections, and reaction cross sections of Li6,7 for energies from 5 to 50 MeV. The CDCC result provides satisfactory agreement with experimental data, particularly at forward angles. The obtained nucleon optical model potentials are found to describe reasonably well both nucleon and deuteron elastic scattering from Li6,7 for energies up to 50 MeV.
