Abstract

A simple closed-form analytic expression for the heavy-ion reaction cross section, involving nuclear densities of colliding ions and the nucleon-nucleon cross section, has been obtained within the framework of the Glauber model modified for the Coulomb field effect. Reaction cross sections for a large number of heavy-ion systems have been predicted reasonably well over an energy range beginning with the Coulomb barrier to a few GeV/nucleon.
