Abstract

Differential cross sections for proton elastic scattering have been measured as part of an extensive programme of optical model studies being carried out with the Rutherford Laboratory linear accelerator. Results have been obtained for 30.3 MeV protons at 2° angular intervals on seven isotopes Ca40, Fe56, Co59, Ni58, Ni60, Sn120 and Pb208. Less detailed measurements have also been carried out at this energy on C12, O16 and a natural mixture of Cu isotopes.

    There is an abundance of elastic [56–70], reaction [56,71–129], and total cross section [56,58,69,70,130–146] data; therefore, these data have been used for validation of the model. An accurate representation of the available elastic differential cross section data [142,147–283] is also presented; however, there is a paucity of nucleus-nucleus differential cross section data for energies greater than a few hundred MeV/n. This manuscript proceeds as follows.

    The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data. The comparison calculated results of elastic scattering angular distributions at incident proton energies of 9.67, 17.0, 9.51, 22.2, 30.3, 65.0 MeV and elastic scattering angular distributions in the Rutherford ratio at incident proton energies of 3.88, 4.67, 5.18, 5.25, 5.66, 5.94, 6.41, 22.2 and 40.0 MeV with experimental data [28–36] are, respectively shown in Fig. 2a and b. The shape and magnitude of calculated curves are in good agreement with experimental data.

    Since there are no experimental data of proton non-elastic cross sections for 43,46Ca, the proton non-elastic cross sections are obtained from model calculations. The calculated results of elastic scattering angular distributions at the incident proton energies from 9.86 to 201.4 MeV and elastic scattering angular distributions in the Rutherford ratio at the incident proton energies from 13.98 to 160.0 MeV are in good agreement with experimental data [38–61] for p + 40Ca reaction. Figs. 4–8 show respectively the comparison of the calculated results with experimental data [38,41,47–61].
