Analysis of Elastic Scattering Angular Distributions of Proton Halo Nuclei by Using Density-Dependent and Density-Independent Proximity Potentials

Abstract

In this work, alternative potentials were sought to clarify the elastic scattering angular distributions of 1p halo nuclei 8B, 17F and 2p halo nucleus 9C. Thirteen different versions of density-independent proximity potentials were first studied. The theoretical results were compared with each other and with experimental data, and good agreement results were obtained. Then, the calculations were repeated for density-dependent proximity potential in order to make a comparative study. It was seen that the results with density-dependent potential were not very enough in explaining the elastic scattering cross-sections of 1p and 2p halo nuclei.
