Abstract

We study the threshold anomaly displayed in the energy dependence of optical potentials describing elastic-scattering angular distributions of weakly bound nuclei with three different models: a) a semi-microscopic double folding potential with two free parameters, b) a phenomenological Wood-Saxon potential with six free parameters and c) an exponential potential with two free parameters. In this kind of nuclei, the coupling to the breakup channel is reflected as an increasing of the imaginary part of the potential as the bombarding energy decreases below the Coulomb barrier, while the real part of the potential (linked to the imaginary part by the dispersion relation) decreases in strength. This behavior is called breakup threshold anomaly (BTA). In this work, we apply this analysis to experimental data for the elastic scattering in the 9Be+80Se systemat eleven bombarding energies around the Coulomb barrier, obtained at the 20 MV tandem accelerator of the TANDAR Laboratory at Buenos Aires. Using the covariance-matrix method to estimate the uncertainties, the presence of the BTA in this system is unambiguously determined, independently of the model chosen for the nuclear potential.
