ELASTIC SCATTERING OF PROTONS BY Fe$sup 56$, Fe$sup 58$, AND Ni$sup 58$ AT 10.9 AND 11.7 Mev

Differential cross sections for elastic scattering of protons from Fe/ sup 56/, Fe/sup 58/, and Ni/sup 58/ were measured and compared. Differences in positions of the maxima and minima are observed; when compared with the results of extensive optical model analyses of other data these are shown to be consistent with a nuclear symmetry dependence of the real nuclear-potential well depth. A comparison of the A = 58 data with previously reported A = 64 data shows the positions of maxima and minima in the differential elasticscattering cross sections to be much more sensitive to differences of (N - Z)/A than to differences in nuclear deformation.
