Resonating-group study and importance of exchange processes inN+O16scattering

Abstract

The scattering of nucleons by $^{16}\mathrm{O}$ is studied with the resonating-group method and a generator-coordinate technique. The result shows that, at relatively high energies, the knockout process contributes significantly to the scattering amplitude, while the pickup process is of minor importance.NUCLEAR REACTIONS $^{16}\mathrm{O}(p, p)$, $E=37.4$ MeV; calculated $\ensuremath{\sigma}(\ensuremath{\theta})$ and $P(\ensuremath{\theta})$.
