Abstract

The effect of the breakup of the weakly bound ⁶Li projectile on the elastic channel of the

⁶Li$ + $¹⁴⁴Sm

system is investigated. CDCC calculations are performed by explicitly taking into account the breakup channel and are compared with very precise elastic scattering angular distributions around the Coulomb barrier. The breakup effect is to produce a repulsive polarization potential.
