Abstract

We have measured the elastic scattering cross-section for ⁸Li + ⁹Be and ⁸Li + ⁵¹V systems at 19.6MeV and 18.5MeV, respectively. We have also extracted total reaction cross sections from the elastic scattering analysis for several light weakly bound systems using the optical model with Woods-Saxon and double-folding-type potentials. Different reduction methods for the total reaction cross-sections have been applied to analyze and compare simultaneously all the systems.
