Proton--nucleus elastic scattering at 1 GeV in the Glauber model

Journal Article · · Ann. Phys. (N.Y.); (United States)
Differential elastic cross sections and polarizations are calculated in a multiple-scattering formalism for proton--nucleus scattering at 1 GeV incident energy. The calculations include Coulomb and spin effects. Corrections to the Glauber model are studied. It is shown that for momentum transfer up to 2.0--2.5 fm/sup -1/ the reaction mechanism can be taken with confidence. Consequently, fits to the experimental data over this limited range in q can be considered to extract nuclear structure information. In the present case, use has been made of nuclear densities arising from self-consistent calculations. The calculations are compared with experimental data.
