Deuteron Elastic Scattering Optical Model Parameters for Light Nuclei, 10-270 MeV

An optical model analysis for deuteron-induced elastic scattering on light nuclei from helium-3 to oxygen-16. The dataset, created by Waleed Saleh Alrayashi and last updated in April 2026, contains parameters derived from analyzing experimental angular distributions extracted from the EXFOR database over an energy range of 10 to 270 MeV. It includes fitted Woods-Saxon potential parameters, volume integrals, and reaction cross sections to assess systematic trends.

Use Cases

• Validating global optical model parameterizations based on local fits to angular distribution data.
• Studying systematic trends of optical-model parameters for different target masses and energies.
• Analyzing the transition from surface-dominated to volume-dominated absorption mechanisms in deuteron scattering.
• Comparing calculated reaction cross sections with experimental data for light nuclei.

Strengths

• Analysis covers an extended energy range from 10 to 270 MeV.
• Systematic study includes light nuclei from helium-3 to oxygen-16.
• Data is derived from the authoritative EXFOR experimental nuclear reaction database.
• Results include volume integrals and reaction cross sections for consistency assessment.

Limitations

• Dataset is provided as a 188.4 KB PDF file; underlying tabular data structure is not directly accessible.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the paper.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for computational analysis.
