Fully microscopic model analysis of the elastic and inelastic scattering of protons from C12 and for energies in the range 200 to 800 MeV

Abstract

Medium modified effective two nucleon interactions are defined for protons incident upon C12 with energies in the range 200 to 800 MeV. Those effective interactions have been folded with the ground-state density to specify nonlocal optical potentials that were then used to analyze the elastic scattering differential cross sections and analyzing powers. A select set of isoscalar and isovector, positive and negative parity, inelastic proton scattering transitions have also been analyzed using the same (microscopic) optical models to define the distorted wave functions needed in distorted wave approximation (DWA) calculations of the associated differential cross sections and analyzing powers.
