Intermediate Energy Pion- ²⁰ Ne Elastic Scattering in the α+ ¹⁶ O Model of ²⁰ Ne

Abstract

We present an analysis of π-20Ne elastic scattering at intermediate energy basing on the α+16O model of the 20Ne nucleus and in the framework of Glauber multiple scattering theory. Satisfactory agreement with the general features of the experimental data of pion elastic scattering on the neighboring 4N-type nuclei is obtained without any free parameters. Compared with the experimental angular distributions of pion elastic scattering on 12C, 16O, 24Mg, and 28Si nuclei, the diffractive patterns and the positions of the dips and peaks in the angular distributions of π-20Ne elastic scattering are reasonably predicted by the calculations.
