Quantal inversion of the cross section for the elastic scattering of 200 MeV protons from C12

Abstract

Fixed energy quantal inverse scattering theory has been used to analyze the differential cross section from the elastic scattering of 200 MeV protons from C12. Ambiguities in obtaining the scattering function from the differential cross section are discussed and we illustrate by means of example that not all scattering functions lead to physically reasonable potentials. © 1994 The American Physical Society.
