Coupled-channels analysis of $K^+$ scattering from $^ 6Li$

Abstract

Differential cross sections for the elastic and inelastic scattering of$K^ +$ at 715 MeV/c from $^ 6Li$ are analysed by applying the Watanabe superposition model to the real potential with a phenomenological imaginary potential. The optical potential of $^ 6Li$ is calculated in terms of alpha-particle and deuteron or triton and helion optical potentials. The calculated cross sections are consistent with the triton-helion model.
