Phenomenological and Microscopic Analysis of Elastic Scattering Reactions of 20Ne by 12C, 16O, 28Si, 58Ni

Abstract

In this study, the elastic scattering angular distributions of ²⁰Ne from ¹²C, ¹⁶O, ²⁸Si and ⁵⁸Ni target nuclei have been investigated at various incident energies. For this, both the phenomenological model and the double folding model have been used. In the phenomenological calculations, the real and imaginary potentials have been evaluated in Woods-Saxon type. In the double folding calculations, the imaginary part has been assumed as Woods-Saxon potential while the real part has been obtained by using the folding model. The theoretical results have been compared with the literature as well as the experimental data. It has been observed that our results have been in agreement with the experimental data. Also, the cross-sections of the investigated system and models have been given.
