Microscopic approach to calculating cross sections and optical potentials for nucleus-nucleus interaction at intermediate energies

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei
Nucleus-nucleus scattering is considered in the high-energy approximation and on the basis of Glauber-Sitenko microscopic theory in the optical limit. Analytic expressions for eikonal phase shifts are given for the case of Fermi-type realistic potentials and nuclear-density distributions. The effect of taking into account the distortions of the trajectories of the nuclei involved and the nuclear-density dependence of nucleon-nucleon forces on the total reactions cross sections is illustrated. The sensitivity of the reaction cross sections to the choice of model for the {sup 6}He projectile nucleus, which involves a neutron halo, is explored. Semimicroscopic optical potentials are introduced in order to describe differential cross sections for elastic scattering. The results of the present calculations are compared with available experimental data.
