Polarized proton+$^{4,6,8}$He elastic scattering with breakup effects in the eikonal approximation

Abstract

We study the elastic scattering of polarized protons from He isotopes. The central and spin-orbit parts of the optical potential are derived using the Glauber theory that can naturally take account of the breakup effect of the He isotopes. Both the differential cross section and the vector analyzing power for $p+^{4,6,8}$He scattering at 71 MeV are in reasonable agreement with experiment. Scattering observables at 300 MeV are predicted. The Pauli blocking effect is examined at 71 MeV.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, published version revised by the erratu
