Unexpected transparency in the scattering of fragile ${}^6$Li and ${}^6$He Nuclei

Abstract

It is found that the scattering of the fragile nucleus ${}^6$Li from ${}^{12}$C and ${}^{16}$O is unexpectedly transparent. It is shown that the internal-wave contribution is significantly large in the scattering, which suggests that some transparency could persist in the scattering involving the fragile nucleus ${}^6$He.
