The $l$ dependence of the helion optical model potential and the undularity of the $l$-independent equivalent

TL;DR

This paper investigates how the angular momentum dependence ($l$-dependence) of the helion optical model potential relates to its undularity, revealing patterns similar to those observed in proton scattering models.

Contribution

It demonstrates the connection between $l$-dependence and undularity in the optical model potential for helion scattering, extending previous proton scattering findings.

Findings

$l$-dependence correlates with undularity in the optical potential.

Patterns observed are consistent with previous proton scattering models.

The study enhances understanding of the optical model's structure for helion interactions.

Abstract

The relationship between $l$-dependence and undularity of the optical model potential (OMP) is studied for the case of the elastic scattering of 33 MeV \nuc{3}{He} on $^{58}$Ni. The relationship that emerges follows the general features of the same relationship found for the proton OMP presented in arXiv:1705.07003. The general background is also presented in that reference.
