Title: Nuclear rainbow in the elastic scattering of {sup 16}O nuclei on carbon isotopes

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei

An investigation of refractive effects in heavy-ion scattering is continued. For the elastic scattering of {sup 16}O nuclei on a {sup 13}C target at E({sup 16}O) = 132 MeV, the differential cross sections are measured for the first time in addition to previous measurements for targets from the carbon isotopes {sup 12}C and {sup 14}C. Airy structures that are similar for all isotopes and which have close cross sections are observed and are found to be consistent with the energy systematics of Airy minima that were obtained previously. The volume integrals of the real and imaginary parts of the optical potentials found in the present study are nearly identical for all of the isotopes considered here and are also in good agreement with the systematics obtained previously.
