Analysis with SDHO and RMF density distributions of elastic scattering cross-sections of oxygen isotopes (16–18O) by various target nuclei

Abstract

In the present study, two different density distributions of oxygen isotopes ([Formula: see text]O) that consist of the harmonic oscillator single-particle wave functions (SDHO) and the relativistic mean-field (RMF) approaches are investigated for the availability of elastic scattering cross-sections. For this purpose, the elastic scattering angular distributions of nuclear reactions with 13 target nuclei, four target nuclei and nine target nuclei are calculated for [Formula: see text]O, [Formula: see text]O and [Formula: see text]O, respectively. For these calculations, the double folding model based on the optical model is used. The optical potential parameters, volume integrals and cross-sections for all the nuclear reactions are given in this study. The comparison of theoretical results and experimental data shows very good agreement. The imaginary potential depth expressions, which will be new and more practical terms to explain the nuclear interactions of [Formula: see text]O, [Formula: see text]O and [Formula: see text]O with different nuclei, for each oxygen isotope are proposed.
