Abstract

It is possible to extract the nuclear part of the forward-scattering amplitude from small-angle proton-nucleus elastic scattering. The process is complicated in practice by the effects of experimental errors and theoretical approximations. Optical-model calculations are done, using 14.5-MeV protons on O16, Ca40, and Zr90, to examine the effects of these uncertainties on the determination of the nuclear forward amplitude.
