Folding model analysis of 28Si elastic scattering using different density distributions

Abstract

The elastic scattering cross-sections of [Formula: see text]Si projectile by [Formula: see text]Al, [Formula: see text]Si, [Formula: see text]Ni, [Formula: see text]Ni and [Formula: see text]Pb targets are analyzed using the double folding model based on the effective M3Y interaction which is known as the most popular density independent form. In the calculations of the double folding model, 16 different density distributions of [Formula: see text]Si nucleus are examined. A very good agreement between experimental data and theoretical results is obtained, and also the literature results support our results. In addition, dependence on incident energy, target atomic number and target mass number of the imaginary potential depth is studied, and new and global equations are proposed.
