Abstract
An approximation to the Glauber model for heavy-ion scattering has been recently derived and illustrated by a few examples in two previous papers. We present here a more systematic analysis of nucleus-nucleus elastic and inelastic scattering data, which cover a wide range in the projectile energy (E/≊30–350 MeV), the mass number of colliding nuclei (4≤≤40, 12≤≤208), and the multipolarities of the excited states. The only inputs of the model are the densities and transition densities of the nuclei and the elementary nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitudes, which have been taken from the current literature without any adjustment. The results obtained are in overall good agreement with the experimental data.
