Abstract
Using an optical model potential including an inelastic scattering potential as well as a conventional short-range nuclear potential, we investigate the ratio of the inelastic scattering cross section to the Rutherford cross section for the system. As a result, we find that the contribution of the inelastic scattering to the first excited state of the projectile cannot be ignored at backward angles in unresolved elastic inelastic scattering data and the relevant to the contribution of inelastic scattering depends on the incident energy and excitation energy .
