A number of works are devoted to solving this problem, describing methods and real facilities with dual energy switch [2–5]. The energy switch is achieved by a stepwise change in the input power of the accelerating section and/or the magnitude of the accelerated current. In order to provide the necessary energy and beam current in high and low energy modes, the accelerating section parameters must be carefully tuned.

In the present work, we have examined the ability of the velocity-dependent potential, which contains real surface-peaked terms, to account for nonlocality. This is achieved by inspecting the case of fitting the angular distribution data for the neutron that elastically scattered from a light nucleus, carbon isotopes (<sup>10</sup>C, <sup>12</sup>C, and <sup>14</sup>C) in the energy range of 12–20 MeV, by using two potential models: the modified velocity optical potential (which conations real surface-term) and the conventional optical potential. A comparison between the two models has been made. Furthermore, the total elastic cross sections and the analyzing power are calculated using both models and compared to the experimental data. The volume integrals per nucleon of the real central potential and the imaginary surface potential in the modified velocity optical potential have also been determined and the results are in good agreement with the corresponding values calculated using other models.
