Density and energy dependent semi-microscopic optical potential of nucleon–nucleus elastic scattering

Abstract

A nonlocal velocity-dependent optical potential was used to study the angular distribution of the differential cross section of nucleon–nucleus elastic scattering. The potential parameters were calculated by fitting elastic angular distributions over a wide range of energy (10-65 MeV) and mass (12-208). The real part of the local optical potential was calculated using the CDM3Y6-Paris interaction, whereas the imaginary part was a Woods-Saxon form factor and its derivative.
