Elastic scattering of deuterons by carbon

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Deuteron--carbon elastic scattering is studied within the framework of the Glauber approximation. The full Glauber multiple scattering series is evaluated with simplified nuclear wave functions. An approximation in which deuteron--nucleus scattering is expressed in terms of nucleon--nucleus scattering amplitudes is shown to be accurate for small momentum transfers. The effects of the Coulomb field and the deuteron D state are investigated. The impressive fit to the 650 MeV d--/sup 12/C elastic scattering data, obtained in a recent calculation, is shown to be due to additional approximations made in that analysis.
