Analysis of the nuclear potential for heavy-ion systems through large-angle quasi-elastic scattering by Inche Ibrahim, Mohd Lukman, Zamrun, Muhammad, Abu Kassim, Hasan

“…Diffuseness parameters that are considerably lower than the standard value of around 0.63 fm are required in order to fit the experimental data at deep sub-barrier energies, except for the 54Cr + 208Pb system, where the required diffuseness parameter is in satisfactory agreement with (but still lower than) the standard value. Furthermore, when the energies of the experimental data used in the fittings are increased from the deep sub-barrier region to the energies closer to the Coulomb barrier height, the best fitted diffuseness parameters also increase. …”
