Abstract

Close similarities are found in the gross structures of the excitation functions from the elastic scattering of ${}^{16}O$ from ${}^{14}N$ , ${}^{15}N$ , and ${}^{18}O$ . The picture emerging from the optical-model analysis of these data is that of an interaction potential which is totally absorbing for the low- $l$ partial waves and which is very transparent for the surface partial waves.
