Scattering of 30 MeV {sup 3}He from {sup 185}Re

The scattering of 30 MeV {sup 3}He from a {sup 185}Re target has been investigated. The measured elastic scattering is in disagreement with calculations using common optical model parameter sets found in the literature. A new optical model parameter set has been determined that reproduces the data for both the elastic and the inelastic scattering channels.
