Global density-dependent $\alpha$-nucleon interaction for $\alpha$-nucleus elastic scattering

Abstract

We provide a global density-dependent ${}^4$He-nucleon (DD-$\alpha N$) interaction to construct the $\alpha$-nucleus optical model potential (OMP) in a wide range of incident energies. The global parametrization for the DD-$\alpha N$ interaction is obtained based on the proton-${}^4$He OMP which reproduces the elastic scattering cross-section data very well in the incident energies of 12.04--500 MeV per nucleon. We derive the $\alpha$-nucleus potential by a folding procedure with the point-nucleon density obtained by a microscopic mean-field model using the present DD-$\alpha N$ interaction. The density dependence of the DD-$\alpha N$ interaction is fixed phenomenologically to reproduce the $\alpha$-nucleus elastic scattering cross-section data by the ${}^{16}$O, ${}^{40}$Ca, ${}^{58}$Ni, ${}^{90}$Zr, and ${}^{208}$Pb targets at $E/A=$ 10--342.5 MeV. We also show the total reaction cross sections, which are helpful in fixing one free parameter, the renormalization factor for the imaginary part of the $\alpha$-nucleus potential. Lastly, we show some examples, which clearly demonstrate the validity and power of the present DD-$\alpha N$ approach.
