Relation between transition density and proton inelastic scattering by C12 target at Ep=65 and 200 MeV

Abstract

We calculate proton elastic and inelastic scatterings with a microscopic coupled channel (MCC) calculation. The localized diagonal and coupling potentials including the spin-orbit part are obtained by folding a complex $G$-matrix effective nucleon-nucleon interaction with a transition density. This is the first time that the present folding prescription for the spin-orbit part is applied to the proton inelastic scattering, while for the monopole transition only. We apply the MCC calculation to the proton elastic and inelastic $({0}_{2}^{+})$ scatterings by $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ target at ${E}_{p}=65 \mathrm{and} 200 \mathrm{MeV}$. The role of diagonal and coupling potentials for the central and spin-orbit parts is checked. In addition, the relation between the transition density and the proton inelastic scattering is investigated with the modified wave function and the modified transition density. Namely, we perform the investigation with the artificial drastic change rather than fine structural change. The inelastic cross section is sensitive to the strength and shape of the transition density, but the inelastic analyzing power is sensitive only to the shape of that. Finally, we make clear the property of the inelastic analyzing power derived from the transition density without an ambiguity.
