Abstract

Shallow imaginary potentials (

W_{0}

≊18–25 MeV) are found to be essential to describe various sets of elastic-scattering data for

{}^{12}-^{12}

C and

{}^{16}-^{12}

C at intermediate energies. This result does not show a continuous ambiguity. An energy-dependent Woods-Saxon–shaped optical-model potential is presented for 60 MeV≲

E_{c . m . ≲ 650}

MeV.
