Abstract

A simple potential model of the Hulthen type without spin-orbit coupling is considered as the ground-state interaction, and in conjunction with supersymmetric quantum mechanics, higher partial-wave interactions are developed to study the scattering of nucleons from light nuclei. The phase function method is adopted to deal with scattering phase shifts. Applying certain energy-dependent correction factors to our interactions, a close agreement with experimental data is obtained for the elastic scattering of nucleons from alpha particles up to 12 MeV.
