Analysis of elastic and inelastic {alpha} + {sup 24}Mg scattering within the S matrix model involving Regge poles

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei
A generalization of the phenomenological S-matrix model taking into account isolated Regge poles is proposed for simultaneously describing refractive effects in the cross sections for the elastic and inelastic scattering of light nuclei. The cross sections for elastic {alpha} + {sup 24}Mg scattering are analyzed at energies of 50, 54, 65.7, 81, and 119 MeV. The analysis of the cross sections for elastic scattering is supplemented with an analysis of the inelastic scattering of alpha particles that is accompanied by the excitation of the first excited state (2{sup +}) of {sup 24}Mg nuclei. It is shown that the proposed model makes it possible to describe satisfactorily all of the aforementioned cases of elastic and inelastic scattering, correctly reproducing the refraction Airy structures and anomalous large-angle scattering that are observed at large scattering angles.
