Abstract
The second-order interaction potential has been calculated for two colliding nuclei where target excitation is induced by the interaction between a nucleon and the incoming self-consistent one-body field of the projectile. The real part of the second-order term is insignificant for distances larger than the touching radius, but significant for smaller distances. The imaginary potential agrees favorably with phenomenological results.
