Abstract: The theoretical analyses of the elastic scattering of deuteron from 6Li, and 9Be were performed in the optical model (OM) framework. The double-folding model with a density-dependent M3Y-type effective interaction was used to derive both the real and the imaginary components of the optical potential. The derived nuclear optical potentials were subsequently employed in the OM formalism to analyse the angular distribution data of deuteron scattering from 6Li, and 9Be at different incident energies. The calculated differential cross-sections were compared with experimental data across multiple incident energies. The results demonstrate that the derived potentials accurately reproduce experimental observables, confirming the reliability of the double-folding model and the OM for modelling light-ion scattering. These findings also underscore the applicability of the M3Y-type interaction in describing short-range nuclear interactions in light nuclei.

Abstract: We propose a novel interpretation of photon reflection grounded in Feynman’s path integral formulation, extended by introducing a multi-fabric geometry of spacetime. In conventional quantum electrodynamics, the probability of a photon reaching a detector is determined by summing the amplitudes of all possible paths it can traverse within a single spacetime geometry. Here, we generalize this approach by suggesting that a photon's quantum state is not confined to a single classical spacetime but instead projects simultaneously across a distribution of geometric fabrics. Each fabric represents a subtle variation in curvature, phase, or metric properties, effectively forming a continuum of quasi-parallel geometries that contribute coherently to the observed outcome. This multi-fabric perspective provides a geometric foundation for understanding reflection phenomena that extends beyond classical optics and conventional quantum theory. The classical path of least time, typically derived from Fermat’s principle, emerges naturally from the constructive interference of quantum amplitudes summed not only over paths but also over geometrically distinct fabrics of spacetime. Our framework offers a potential link between quantum coherence, holographic encoding of information, and emergent spacetime structures, bridging insights from optics, quantum field theory, and quantum gravity. We further discuss its implications for phenomena such as thin film interference, entanglement, and light behavior near strong gravitational fields. This approach invites experimental exploration using metamaterials and astrophysical observations, opening a path toward understanding how geometry and quantum processes intertwine at fundamental levels.
