Predicting total reaction cross sections for nucleon-nucleus scattering

Abstract

The total reaction cross-sections for both proton and neutron scattering were analyzed at energies up to 300 MeV. The nucleon-nucleus scattering was determined by an optical potential formed by a folding process. The proton total reaction cross-sections at 65.5 MeV were compared with predictions obtained using both g- and t-folding optical potentials.
