Collisions with $^{27}$Al, $^{64}$Zn, $^{138}$Ba and $^{208}$Pa are analyzed. The microscopic optical potentials (MOP) based on Skyrme nucleon-nucleon interaction for $\\alpha$ and $d$ are adopted in CDCC calculations and satisfactory agreement with the experimental data is obtained without any adjustment on MOPs. For comparison, the $\\alpha$ and $d$ global phenomenological optical potentials (GOP) are also used in CDCC analysis and a reduction no less than 50$\\%$ on the surface imaginary part of deuteron GOP is required for describing the data. In all cases, the $^6$Li breakup effect is significant and provides repulsive correction to the folding model potential. The reduction on the GOP of deuteron reveals a strong suppression of the reaction probability of deuteron as a component of $^{6}$Li as compared with that of a free deuteron. A further investigation is made by taking the $d$ breakup process into account equivalently within the dynamic polarization potential approach and it shows that $d$ behaves like a tightly bound nucleus in $^{6}$Li induced reactions. We also compare the CDCC results with those calculated with a $^6$Li GOP and it shows that CDCC calculations provide a better reproduction for the elastic scattering angular distributions in the sub-barrier energy region and the total reaction cross sections at energies around the Coulomb barrier.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-16T07:38:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "total reaction cross sections", "microscopic continuum discretized coupled channels", "continuum discretized coupled channels model", "elastic scattering" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
