Description
The elastic scattering of alpha particles on N=Z nuclei exhibits a significant enhancement of the cross section at large scattering angles, a phenomenon known as anomalous large angle scattering (ALAS) [1]. Several studies [2] suggest that ALAS is linked to the alpha-like correlations present in N=Z nuclei. Moreover, this behavior cannot be satisfactorily explained within the standard framework of optical potential models [3]. In this study, the potential describing the interaction between the alpha particle and the target nucleus is obtained using a single folding procedure [4]. This method incorporates an alpha-nucleon potential [5] and the nuclear density of the target nucleus, the latter being evaluated based on microscopic quantum approaches.
