Total reaction cross-section and reduction methodology for various projectiles on medium-mass

For the measured elastic scattering angular distribution of the tightly bound 10B on the 58Ni target, at energies close to the Coulomb barrier, the study is made to extract the total reaction cross-section. Total reaction cross-sections were extracted from the elastic-scattering analysis using the optical model with double-folding–type potentials. We have also taken the total reaction cross-section of the systems with the same mass range target, that is, 58Ni and different projectiles, from the literature and tried to compare them with our system by reducing the cross-sections, for the elimination of trivial effects due to different sizes and different Coulomb barriers. In addition to that, for all the considered systems, one-channel calculations that account only for fusion have been performed to study the quantitative effect of the direct reaction channels on the total reaction cross-section
