17lh Ref. 15, a model with an enlarged gauge group is constructed in which all such " self-energy" diagrams are finite. The result is, to a good approximation, equivalent to cutting off the divergence in the SU(2) ® U(l) theory with a mass comparable to Af w . 18 Cheng and Li, Ref. 5.The elastic-scattering angular distribution of 90-MeV 18 0 on 184 W exhibits a dramatic deviation from the typical Fresnel shape, which cannot be reproduced by standard optical-model calculations. The effect, a decrease in the elastic cross section below the Rutherford cross section even at forward angles, is due primarily to Coulomb excitation, and will be even more pronounced for heavier projectiles.
