Study of low-lying states of 51V, 50,52,53Cr, 59Co and 63Cu nuclei by α-particle inelastic scattering
Abstract Differential cross sections for inelastic scattering of α -particles to various levels in 51 V, 50,52,53 Cr, 59 Co and 63 Cu have been measured at incident α-particle energy of 25 MeV. Data corresponding to the odd nuclei have been analyzed in terms of the weak-coupling model and the symmetric rotor model. Even-even nuclei data have been analyzed in the framework of the coupled channels formalism in terms of two collective models: the harmonic vibrational model and the symmetric rotor model. Model predictions reproduce quite satisfactorily experimental angular distributions.
Comparison of woods-saxon and double-folding potentials forα-particle scattering from54Fe at 24.5 MeV
Inelastic-scattering data are presented forα-particles of 24.5 MeV from54Fe over the range 15° to 175° in the centre-of-mass system. The real part of the optical potential is calculated microscopically using the M3Y effective interaction of Bertschet al. and the DDM3Y density-dependent interaction. Elastic scattering has been analysed by using as real part of the optical potential M3Y, DDM3Y and Woods-Saxon forms (WS), taking in all three cases as imaginary part a WS potential. To fit the data the double-folding potential needs to be normalized by a factor of ⋍1.6 for the M3Y interaction and of ⋍1.13 for the DDM3Y interaction. By the study of the invariant-point ambiguity it has been observ…
The elastic scattering of 25MeV α-particles and neutron shell effects in the A = 50 TO A = 93 mass region
Abstract Experimental elastic scattering angular distributions of 25 MeV α-particles scattered from 28 nuclei ranging from 50Cr to 93Nb have been measured and then analysed in terms of a regular optical model with standard Woods-Saxon geometries for both the real and imaginary potentials. The experimental distributions are well fitted over the whole angular range from 5° to 175° c.m. by the predictions, provided that a smaller than normal diffuseness is used for the imaginary potentials. The usual families of potentials with volume integrals differing by approximately 100 MeV · fm3 are found. The family with volume integral ranging from 540 to 420 MeV· fm3 over the nuclei studied has been c…
