Effects of static deformation on the heavy-ion forward glory scattering.

Abstract

The effects on the forward glory enhancement of \ensuremath{\Delta}${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{T}$\ensuremath{\equiv}${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{R}$- F [(d${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{Ruth}}$/d\ensuremath{\Omega})-(d\ensuremath{\sigma}/d\ensuremath{\Omega})]d\ensuremath{\Omega}, where ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{R}$ is the total reaction cross section, arising from the static deformation of the target in heavy-ion elastic scattering, are investigated. Within a sudden-limit calculation, it is found that the deformed nuclear field merely reduces the amplitude of the energy oscillation of \ensuremath{\Delta}${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{T}$, without inflicting noticeable change in the period. Calculation was performed for several light heavy-ion systems.
