Description of deuteron-nucleus scattering in terms of a microscopic optical potential based on Skyrme forces

A model of a deuteron-nucleus (dA) optical potential is developed. The real and imaginary parts of this potential were determined from the calculation of the mass operator in the respective Green??s function by perturbation theory on the basis of effective nuclear-density-dependent nucleon-nucleon (NN) Skyrme forces and with allowance for the rearrangement potential. Radial and energy dependences of various components of the dA potential were studied in the calculations with various versions of Skyrme forces. The presentmodel was applied to analyzing differential cross sections for elastic deuteron scattering on nuclei over a broad range of mass numbers at various energies and total cross sections for dA reactions. A reasonable description of respective experimental data was obtained.
