TRITON ELASTIC SCATTERING AT 20-MEV

An optical-model analysis of the elastic scattering of 20-MeV tritons from 17 nuclides, from Ca40 to Pb208, is presented. Average-parameter geometry sets as well as best-fit parameters are given. Two basic parameter families are considered, these being based on real-well radius parameters of 1.25 and 1.16 F, respectively. Average-geometry fits to all of the data indicate that the real-well depth is almost constant for all nuclides, whereas the imaginary depth shows a strong dependence on (N-Z)A. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
