Description of Elastic and Reaction Cross-Sections of Heavy Ions Using Modified Glauber Model

Abstract

The Glauber model for the description of the heavy ion reaction cross-sections and the elastic scattering differential cross-sections was extended to lower energies. This model was modified into modified Glauber model I to take into account the Coulomb distortion of the trajectory. The deflection effect of the trajectory due to the real nuclear potential in addition to the Coulomb effect in the modified Glauber model I were also taken into account in the Glauber model to get the modified Glauber model II. These models are satisfactorily applied for both elastic scattering differential cross-sections and reaction cross-sections for many collisions over a broad energy range. The obtained results reasonably well agree with the previous theoretical calculations and the experimental data. The corrected formula for the optical potential of A. Vitturi and F. Zardi is given. Results of this correction are discussed.
