Global deuteron optical model potential for the energy range up to 183 MeV

Based on the existing experimental data of elastic scattering angular distributions and nonelastic cross sections (i.e., total reaction cross sections) for incident deuteron, by using the modified code APMN, we obtain a new optimal set of global deuteron optical potential parameters, which can fit (or reproduce) the experimental data very well for almost all target nuclei ranging from {sup 12}C to {sup 238}U in the energy region below 183 MeV.
