Abstract
The differential elastic scattering cross section of a few heavy-ion systems, in the energy range 8–100 MeV/nucleon, has been studied in the framework of the Coulomb-modified Glauber model. Ingredients in this formalism are the densities of the colliding ions and the elementary nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitude. The only free parameter the ratio of the real to imaginary part of the forward nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitude, is varied to fit the data. Elastic scattering angular distributions using the realistic two-parameter Fermi densities and the surface-matched Gaussian densities agree reasonably well with each other.
