description

This paper describes observations by a photographic method on the angular distributions of 38 MeV α-particles scattered by light nuclei. Elastically and inelastically scattered particles were distinguished by their range in nuclear emulsion. The observed distributions are compared with the general predictions of the nuclear optical model, of direct interaction theories,and of the inelastic diffraction theory of Blair. In teraction radii are deduced from the angular distributions.
