“…The study examines for the first time the NM potential, embodying a repulsive core, on the tensor analyzing powers in the framework of simple OM potential. The T R tensor potential, originally proposed Satchler [24] and tried on the 6 Li + 12 C scattering by Reber et al [22,37] and Kerr et al [23,38], in conjunction with the NM central real, effective SO and imaginary parts of the interaction potential U(R) in equation ( 9), are able to reproduce features in the angular distributions of CS and analyzing power data. In particular, iT 11 , T 21 , T 22 data are well accounted for in OM using normal J-independent imaginary potential.…”
