Predictions of total and total reaction cross sections for nucleon-nucleus scattering up to 300 MeV

Abstract

Total reaction cross sections are predicted for nucleons scattering from various nuclei. Projectile energies up to 300 MeV are considered. So also are mass variations of those cross sections at selected energies. All predictions have been obtained from coordinate space optical potentials formed by full folding effective two-nucleon [Formula Presented] interactions with one-body density matrix elements of the nuclear ground states. Good comparisons with data result when effective [Formula Presented] interactions defined by medium modification of free [Formula Presented] t matrices are used. Coupled with analyses of differential cross sections, these results are sensitive to details of the mod..
