Abstract.
We have surveyed a series of elastic scattering measurements from the literature involving tightly bound (9Li, 10Be, 12C, 16O, 19F), weakly bound (6Li, 7Li, 8Li, 8He, 9Be, 17F), and exotic (6He and 11Li) nuclei on a 208Pb target at energies close to the Coulomb barrier. The corresponding data were then converted and analyzed in terms of the interaction distance, where critical-interaction and strong-absorption distances were extracted. Larger values were obtained for the exotic 6He and 11Li nuclei, as compared with both weakly bound and tightly bound projectiles. The influence of long-range nuclear interactions and Coulomb dipole polarizability are discussed. A correlation between the critical interaction distance and binding energy for a given configuration is observed.
