Abstract
Differential cross sections and analyzing powers in n + 16O and n + 40Ca scattering are calculated with a simplified version of the reasonating-group method in the cases where the wave functions of the target nuclei are constructed with single-nucleon functions generated from Woods-Saxon and harmonic-oscillator potential wells (WS and HO models). A comparison of the calculated results shows that the angular distributions for these quantities obtained in the two models are characteristically similar in all respects. This suggests that scattering properties are mainly sensitive to the gross structure of the target-nucleus density distribution and computationally-simpler harmonic-oscillator wave functions may be reliably adopted in future resonating-group calculations when the scattering energy is not too low.
