A Comparison of Proximity Potentials in the Analysis of Heavy-Ion Elastic Cross Sections

Abstract

To obtain alternative nuclear potentials is very important in explaining the heavy-ion reactions, as well as light-ion ones. For this purpose, a comprehensive analysis of six different proximity potentials ([1, 9–12, 15]) is performed for the first time in the present study. In order to see the availability of the potentials, the elastic-scattering angular distributions of 40Ca by different target nuclei from 32S to 208Pb are calculated within the framework of the optical model. The theoretical results are compared with each other and with experimental data. The similarities and differences of the potentials are discussed, and some alternative potentials are proposed.

An Extended Analysis of 14N(17F, 18Ne)13C and 14N(7Be, 8B)13C Proton Transfer Reactions Depending on the Temperature, Density Distribution, Nuclear Potential and Nucleon-Nucleon Interactions

“…The entrance channel potential contains the real and imaginary potentials. To form the real potential, both optical model (OM) and double folding model (DFM) are used via the codes FRESCO and DFPOT [19] which are used widely in the analysis of various nuclear reactions [20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. The real part is calculated for TD and T-IND densities, different nuclear potentials and 𝑁 𝑁 interactions, as summarized in the following sections.…”

Comprehensive Research of 10C Nucleus Using Different Theoretical Approaches

“…The nuclear potential is one of the most significant quantities in the analysis of nuclear interactions, and is still one of the hottest topics in the field of nuclear physics [5][6][7][8]. As a result, we are looking for alternative nuclear potentials to analyze the 10 C + 58 Ni reaction.…”

Influence of deformed potentials on elastic scattering reactions involving deformed projectile-spherical target

“…Elastic scattering cross-sections were analyzed extensively for spherical states of nuclei. Different methods including various density distributions [1][2][3] and nuclear potentials [4][5][6] were used in order to explain experimental data. However, deformation effect was generally neglected in the calculations.…”
