Abstract
In the framework of the double folding model, we used the alpha+2n and di-triton configurations for the nuclear matter density of the He-6 nucleus to generate the real part of the optical potential for the system He-6+C-12. As an alternative, we also use the high energy approximation to generate the optical potential for the same system. The derived potentials are employed to analyze the elastic scattering differential cross section at energies of 38.3, 41.6 and 82.3 MeV/u. For the imaginary part of the potential we adopt the squared Woods-Saxon form. The obtained results are compared with the corresponding measured data as well as with available results in the literature. The calculated total reaction cross sections are investigated and compared with the optical limit Glauber model description.
