Abstract
The elastic-scattering angular distribution for the reaction of on has been measured at MeV. Optical-model analysis shows that the data determine the nuclear potential between 4 and 6 fm, i.e., well inside the strong-absorption radius. Above , the main contribution to the cross section comes from negative-angle scattering; however, the measured angular distribution is not sensitive to the position of the nuclear rainbow.
