The time independent Schrodinger equation (TISE) has been solved iteratively using Monte-Carlo approach till the S and D bound states of the numerical solution match with the experimental binding energy data in a variational sense. The obtained potential with best fit parameters is taken as input for determining the phase-shifts for the S channel using the non-linear first order differential equation of the phase function method (PFM). It is numerically solved using 5<sup>th</sup> order Runge-Kutta (RK-5) technique. To determine the phase shifts for the ℓ=2 and 4 scattering state i.e. D and G-channel, the inversion potential parameters have been determined using variational Monte-Carlo (VMC) approach to minimize the realtive mean square error w.r.t. the experimental data.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications}, author={Khachi, Anil and Sastri, O.S.K.S. and Kumar, Lalit and Sharma, Aditi}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={1–5} }
