1. The nuclear part of the nucleus-nucleus potential in paper [1], U, is parameterized as
U (r )
V
1 e
0
( r RP RT )/ aV

(1)
with the potential depth is
V0 16 aV RTP .
In these expressions the reduced radius is

with
Ri 1.20 Ai1/3 0.09 fm.
The diffuseness parameter is

2. The imaginary part of the nucleus-nucleus potential is not discussed in paper [1]. In the
NRV the radius and diffuseness parameters of imaginary part RW and aW are suggested to be
equal to the real part’s ones, while imaginary depth W0 is a quarter of the real depth. This choice
is arbitrary therefore these parameters should be fitted additionally.
3. The Coulomb potential radius is not defined in paper [1], so in the NRV it is equal to
RC 1.30 AP1/3 +AT1/3 fm.
