TL;DR: A survey of elastic scattering of exotic nuclei from 6He to 17F can be found in this article, where the authors present a set of definitions that allow different analyses to be put into a common language and a calculational approach that yields consistent results across different beams and targets so that conclusions concerning the influence of virtual and real breakup as well as transfer couplings on the elastic scattering may be drawn.

TL;DR: An evaluation of A = 16-17 was published in Nuclear Physics A564 (1993), p. 1. as mentioned in this paper corrected some errors discovered after the article went to press.
Abstract: An evaluation of A = 16-17 was published in Nuclear Physics A564 (1993), p. 1. This version of A = 17 differs from the published version in that we have corrected some errors discovered after the article went to press. The introductio n and introductory tables have been omitted from this manuscript. Reference key numbers have been changed to the NNDC/TUNL format.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the main methods used to determine the nucleus-nucleus optical potential (OP) is presented, which is the key to explore this interesting process.
Abstract: Elastic scattering of α-particles and some tightly bound light nuclei has shown the pattern of rainbow scattering at medium energies, which is due to the refraction of the incident wave by a strongly attractive nucleus–nucleus potential. This review gives an introduction to the physics of the nuclear rainbow based essentially on the optical model description of the elastic scattering. Since the realistic nucleus–nucleus optical potential (OP) is the key to explore this interesting process, an overview of the main methods used to determine the nucleus–nucleus OP is presented. Given the fact that the absorption in a rainbow system is much weaker than that usually observed in elastic heavy-ion scattering, the observed rainbow patterns were shown to be linked directly to the density overlap of the two nuclei penetrating each other in the elastic channel, with a total density reaching up to twice the nuclear matter saturation density ρ0. For the calculation of the nucleus–nucleus OP in the double-folding model, a realistic density dependence has been introduced into the effective M3Y interaction which is based originally on the G-matrix elements of the Reid and Paris nucleon–nucleon (NN) potentials. Most of the elastic rainbow scattering data were found to be best described by a deep real OP like the folded potential given by this density-dependent M3Y interaction. Within the Hartree–Fock formalism, the same NN interaction gives consistently a soft equation of state of cold nuclear matter which has an incompressibility constant K≈ 230–260 MeV. Our folding analysis of numerous rainbow systems has shown that the elastic α-nucleus and nucleus–nucleus refractive rainbow scattering is indeed a very helpful experiment for the determination of the realistic K value. The refractive rainbow-like structures observed in other quasi-elastic scattering reactions have also been discussed. Some evidences for the refractive effect in the elastic scattering of unstable nuclei are presented and perspectives for future studies are discussed.

TL;DR: Energy-dependent global Dirac optical model potentials are found by fitting proton elastic scattering data in the energy range 20--1040 MeV for C, O, Ca,Ca, Zr, and Pb and the mean free path, the effective mass, and the relativistic energy shift are calculated.
Abstract: Energy-dependent global Dirac optical model potentials are found by fitting proton elastic scattering data in the energy range 20--1040 MeV for $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, $^{16}\mathrm{O}$, $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$, $^{90}\mathrm{Zr}$, and $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$. Three different energy- and atomic-mass-number-dependent global Dirac optical potentials are also obtained. A number of characteristic features of the potentials are discussed. In addition, the mean free path, the effective mass ${\mathit{m}}_{\mathit{e}}^{\mathrm{*}}$, the Dirac mass ${\mathit{M}}^{\mathrm{*}}$, and the relativistic energy shift ${\mathit{E}}^{\mathrm{*}}$ are calculated.

TL;DR: Total reaction cross sections of neutron-rich nuclei from C to Mg in a thick Si target have been measured by the detection of the associatedgamma rays in a 4..pi.. geometry, indicating an increase of as much as 15% of the reduced strong absorption radius with respect to stable nuclei.
Abstract: Total reaction cross sections of neutron-rich nuclei from C to Mg in a thick Si target have been measured by the detection of the associated \ensuremath{\gamma} rays in a 4\ensuremath{\pi} geometry. This cross section strongly increases with neutron excess, indicating an increase of as much as 15% of the reduced strong absorption radius with respect to stable nuclei.
