16O-NUCLEUS ELASTIC SCATTERING IN THE ENERGY RANGE 300 MeV–1.503 GeV
Abstract
In this work we analyze the elastic angular distribution for the scattering of 16O from 12C, 16O, 28Si, 40Ca, 90Zr, and 208Pb in the energy range 300 MeV–1.503 GeV within the framework of the Coulomb modified correlation expansion for the Glauber amplitude. Our calculations involve (i) up to the two-body density term in the correlation expansion, (ii) the realistic nuclear form factors, and (iii) the high q-components of the basic (input) NN amplitude. The results are found to provide a satisfactory explanation of the data in all the cases. Moreover, we could assess the energy dependence of the NN amplitude, and the trend of its slope strengthens the need of nondiffractive behavior of the NN amplitude in the energy range under consideration. We also show that the c.m. correlations play an important role in nucleus–nucleus collision.
