Abstract

A unified semiclassical theory of analysing powers of all ranks for polarised heavy-ion elastic scattering from a spin-zero target at energies above the Coulomb barrier is presented. Illustration is provided for by specialising to the two interactions, spin-orbit and tensor. The present approach recovers the phenomenological result, obtained by taking the difference of the nuclear overlap between unpolarised and aligned projectiles (shape-effect model), which successfully explained the structureless pattern of rank-2 observables for aligned 7Li + 58Ni at Elab ∼ 20 MeV. Deviations observed for 7Li + 12C (oscillations) are interpreted as due to interference between diffraction (positive-angle) and negative-angle scattering terms.
