Abstract:
For the determination of the  144Smα~{144}Sm-\alpha optical potential we measured the angular distribution of  144Sm(α,α) 144Sm~{144}Sm(\alpha,\alpha)~{144}Sm scattering at the energy Elab=20MeVE_{lab} = 20 MeV with high accuracy. Using the known systematics of α\alpha-nucleus optical potentials we are able to derive the  144Smα~{144}Sm-\alpha optical potential at the astrophysically relevant energy Ec.m.=9.5MeVE_{c.m.} = 9.5 MeV with very limited uncertainties.
