THE INTERMEDIATE ENERGY ELASTIC SCATTERING OF PROTONS BY α-CLUSTER 20Ne AND 24Mg NUCLEI
The multiple diffraction scattering theory and the α-cluster model with dispersion have been applied for calculations of the observables for the elastic scattering of intermediate energy protons by 20 Ne and 24 Mg nuclei. The target nuclei are considered as composed of the core (16 O nucleus) and additional α-clusters (one α-cluster for 20 Ne nucleus and a dumb-bell α-cluster configuration for 24 Mg nucleus). Taking into account the α-cluster configuration of the core, it was supposed that the additional α-cluster or center of mass of the dumb-bell are arranged with the most probability inside or outside of the core. The calculated observables for the elastic p–20 Ne and p–24 Mg scattering are in agreement with the existing experimental data. The influence of the deformed core contribution on the behavior of the calculated observables also is tested.
