Abstract

Complete angular distributions of the ¹⁴C + ¹¹B elastic and inelastic scattering at the energy = 45 MeV were measured for the ground and excited states of ¹¹B. The data were analyzed within the optical model and the coupled-reaction-channels method. The parameters of the ¹⁴C + ¹¹B optical potential and ¹¹B deformation were deduced. The contributions of one- and two-step transfers of nucleons and clusters into the ¹⁴C + ¹¹B elastic and inelastic scattering were calculated. The isotopic differences between the ¹⁴C + ¹¹B and ^12,13C + ¹¹B scatterings are presented and clearly show the importance of the large angle scattering data for understanding the interaction between light heavy ions.
