Carbon?Carbon Elastic Scattering

Abstract

Optical model analyses of elastic scattering of heavy ions have been carried out by Porter (1958) for nitrogen-nitrogen, and a preliminary study of the carbonnitrogen system has been made by Bassel, Melkanoff, and Drisko (Halbert, Hunting, and Zucker 1960). These analyses have shown that the optical model is capable of predicting, to a higher accuracy than the semiclassical models, the heavy ion elastic angular distributions.
