  ABSTRACT: Cross sections of $^{120}$Sn($\alpha$,$\alpha$)$^{120}$Sn elastic scattering have been extracted from the $\alpha$ particle beam contamination of a recent $^{120}$Sn($^6$He,$^6$He)$^{120}$Sn experiment. Both reactions are analyzed using systematic double folding potentials in the real part and smoothly varying Woods-Saxon potentials in the imaginary part. The potential extracted from the $^{120}$Sn($^6$He,$^6$He)$^{120}$Sn data may be used as the basis for the construction of a simple global $^6$He optical potential. The comparison of the $^6$He and $\alpha$ data shows that the halo nature of the $^6$He nucleus leads to a clear signature in the reflexion coefficients $\eta_L$: the relevant angular momenta $L$ with $\eta_L \gg 0$ and $\eta_L \ll 1$ are shifted to larger $L$ with a broader distribution. This signature is not present in the $\alpha$ scattering data and can thus be used as a new criterion for the definition of a halo nucleus.

  ABSTRACT: Cross sections of 120Sn(α,α)120Sn elastic scattering have been extracted from the α-particle-beam contamination of a recent 120Sn(6He,6He)120Sn experiment. Both reactions are analyzed using systematic double-folding potentials in the real part and smoothly varying Woods-Saxon potentials in the imaginary part. The potential extracted from the 120Sn(6He,6He)120Sn data may be used as the basis for the construction of a simple global 6He optical potential. The comparison of the 6He and α data shows that the halo nature of the 6He nucleus leads to a clear signature in the reflexion coefficients ηL: The relevant angular momenta L with ηL≫0 and ηL≪1 are shifted to larger L with a broader distribution. This signature is not present in the α-scattering data and can thus be used as a new criterion for the definition of a halo nucleus.
