Low-Energy Deuteron-Alpha Elastic Scattering in Cluster Effective Field Theory

Abstract

In this paper, we study the low-energy $d-\alpha$ elastic scattering within the two-body cluster effective field theory (EFT) framework. The importance of the $d(\alpha ,\alpha )d$ scattering in the ${}^6\text{Li}$ production reaction leads us to study this system in an effective way. In the beginning, the scattering amplitudes of each channel are written in a cluster EFT with two-body formalism. Using the effective range expansion analysis for the elastic scattering phase shift of $S$, $P$ and $D$ partial waves, the unknown EFT low-energy coupling constants are determined and the leading and next-to-leading orders EFT results for the phase shift in each channel are presented. To verify the accuracy of the results, we compare experimental phase shift and differential cross section data with obtained results. The accuracy of the EFT results and consistency with the experimental data indicate that the EFT is an effective approach for describing low-energy systems.
