The elastic scattering of strongly interacting particles from a heavy nucleus is considered. For a specific model potential, a closed-form representation of the differential cross section is constructed within the Born approximation. This expression is used to relate some prominent features of the cross section to the geometry of the target nucleus. Effects arising from the Coulomb interaction are also discussed.
