The cross section of elastic scattering of fast protons by a deformed nucleus was calculated using the Born approximation method. The nuclear interaction is represented by an optical model potential that comprises both the prolate spheroidal shape and the diffusivity of the boundary of the potential. The Coulomb potential is taken to be that due to a uniform charge distribution within the deformed nucleus. The theoretical results for the case of tantalum nucleus (A = 171, Z = 73) obtained with a prolate spheroidal potential having diffuse boundary agree quite well with the experimental findings and the agreement is much better than that obtained with the same potential having a sharp cut-off.
