Inelastic Nuclear Scattering Of Strongly Absorbed Particles

ABSTRACT

Closed expressions for differential cross sections are

derived from the Austern-Blair theory of inelastic nuclear

scattering. These formulae are an extension of the strong

absorption model of Frahn and Venter for elastic scattering.

AU the well-known features of inelastic angular distributions of

composite particles are shown explicitly. These include effects

of. the multipolarity of the transition, the nuclear interaction, the

Coulomb force and the shape of the reflection coefficients in

angular momentum space. Analyses of' representative sets of

experimental data are presented. The results indicate that the

Austern-Blair theory. ts remarkably successful in representing

the shape of the angular distribution, but tends to underestimate

the . deformation parameter.
