EIKONAL DESCRIPTION OF 12C–12C ELASTIC SCATTERING IN TERMS OF PHENOMENOLOGICAL EFFECTIVE NN POTENTIAL

A phenomenological method of analysis for heavy-ion elastic scattering data at intermediate energies is proposed within the framework of the optical limit approximation of the Glauber multiple scattering theory. The essential point of our method is to evaluate the NN scattering amplitude in terms of a phenomenological effective NN potential the parameters of which are varied to fit the experimental data. It is applied to analyze 12C–12C elastic scattering data in the energy range of 25–200 MeV/nucleon with a good degree of success.
