Abstract
Deuteron elastic and inelastic scattering from Li-6, C-12, O-16, Mg-24, S-32, V-50, Ni-58, Ge-70, Zr-90, and Sn-116 targets at different incident energies have been analyzed. Both Phenomenological Woods-Saxon and double-folding optical model potentials have been used. The folding calculations were based upon the Sao Paulo potential. A semi-microscopic representation has been proposed to study the effect of the dynamic polarization potential. Comparisons between our results and measured angular distributions of the differential cross sections showed a pronounced success of our theoretical predictions. The corresponding reaction cross sections have also been investigated.
