SHAPE EFFECTS IN THE ELASTIC AND INELASTIC SCATTERING OF 70.4 MeV 12C IONS FROM THE EVEN NEODYMIUM ISOTOPES

摘要

The angular distributions are analyzed first within the framework of the optical model and the Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) using the collective model formalism. The DWBA calculations reproduce the 2 and 3 angular distributions quite well provided nuclear deformation lengths are allowed to take on values which differ by 20% - 50% from their corresponding Coulomb deformation lengths. The 4 angular distributions cannot be described by a single-step DWBA calculation.
