Abstract
- The phenomenological strengths of the real part of the optical potential, obtained from elastic scattering data analyses within the optical model (OM) approach, present significant energy-dependence. This behavior has been associated with the intrinsic energy-dependence of the effective nucleonâ€"nucleon interaction. However, in earlier works, we proposed that at least part of this dependence can arise from the effect of couplings to inelastic states of the nuclei. In order to deepen this study, in this paper we present extensive data analyses for the elastic scattering and inelastic excitation of 111 states of <superscript>208</superscript>Pb, for the <superscript>4</superscript>He + <superscript>208</superscript>Pb system in a wide energy range. For the purpose of comparison, the theoretical cross sections are obtained using different approaches for the imaginary part of the potential, and within both contexts: OM (distorted wave Born approximation) and coupled-channel calculations.
