LOCALIZATION OF NUCLEAR REACTIONS AND INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEAR SURFACE

A range of processes available for the study of the surface region of nuclei is discussed, and an attempt is made to determine which are most sensitive to the extreme surface region and to the difference between the proton and neutron distributions. The processes discussed are α-particle scattering, kaon absorption, knock-out reactions with protons and α-particles, high energy proton scattering and pion production. © 1969.
