Abstract
The nuclear density overlap, which occurs during refractive heavy-ion scattering, opens an alternative approach to study the equation of state (EOS) for cold nuclear matter. For this purpose elastic [sup 16]O+[sup 16]O scattering at incident enegies of 145, 250, 350, and 480 MeV has been measured very accurately, up to large angles. A systematic folding analysis of these data has been performed using an effective density dependent interaction based on the [ital G]-matrix elements of the Paris nucleon-nucleon potential. We find, with the observed refractive scattering patterns, that a soft EOS (with the nuclear incompressibility [ital K] around 200 MeV) is the most realistic one.
