Proton Nucleus Elastic Scattering at 800 MeV: The Role of Intermediate Isobars

摘要

Proton nucleus elastic scattering at 800 MeV has been calculated in the Glauber model for sup 16 O, sup 40 Ca, sup 48 Ca and sup 208 Pb. Nuclear densities are taken from Hartree-Fock-BCS calculations. For the nucleon-nucleon amplitudes, use is made of two recent phase shift analysis. The effects of intermediate isobars are included by means of a simple model. The results show that the experimental data are qualitatively understood. The polarization turns out to be quite sensitive to the intermediate isobar effects, which consequently need to be calculated more carefully. (ERA citation 11:052684)
