Abstract
Real double-folding optical potentials are calculated using the S1Y effective nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction and the t rho rho approximation in order to analyze elastic and inelastic scattering of alpha-particles from Ni-58, Sn-116, and Pb-208 targets at 288, 340, 480, and 699 MeV. The relativistic corrections for momenta and reduced masses are performed to investigate the data at the energies 480 and 699 MeV. The second-order (double-scattering) correction to the t rho rho potential is also considered. The inelastic scattering to low-lying excited states (2(+)) is investigated using the distorted wave born approximation (DWBA) and the coupled-channel (CC) techniques.
