Abstract
The angular distributions for the elastic scattering of a deuteron from 12C were measured in the double model framework using a mass-dependent M3Y-type interaction. The optical potential of this study was derived using the double-folding formalism and subsequently employed in the optical model formalism to determine the reaction cross-sections of d + 12C at different incident energies. The calculated differential cross-sections were analyzed and compared to experimental results. A good fit of the differential cross-section to the experimental data was achieved. The suitability of the fit affirms the present formulation as a suitable tool for the study of nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. The effect of including the imaginary potential and the s-matrix elements was also analyzed.
