Low-energy optical model potential in finite nuclei from Reid's hard core interaction

Abstract

In a previous article, we gave a parametrization of a theoretical microscopic optical model potential for nucleon energies ranging from 10 to 160 MeV. However, it is not suitable for low-energy scattering. Reanalyzing our nuclear matter results, we propose a modification of the formula suitable for proton or neutron energies from 0 to 10 MeV.
