Eikonal and Fresnel corrections to the Glauber theory of nuclear multiple scattering

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics. B
Starting from a Watson-type multiple scattering series firstorder corrections to the Glauber high-energy collision model are studied. These are obtained by replacing the free-space Green function between successive scatterings by the second-order eikonal propagator. Distinction is made between Fresnel corrections and eikonal-type corrections. Due to large cancellation effects the eikonal contribution is very small compared to the Fresnel contribution. First-order corrections to Glauber theory are calculated explicitly for high-energy elastic scattering of protons from light nuclei ( 4He, 12C, 16O).
