Recent works devoted to investigating the role of electric polarizability of nuclei in elastic and nucleosynthesis reactions are critically and constructively reviewed, in order to formulate some problems of the low-energy potential scattering theory. Possible methods for solving these problems are outlined. One of the problems, a correct definition of the range of action of the polarization potential, is discussed in detail. An intuitively clear conception of this radius — the lower bound of the distance range, where the polarization potential may be replaced by identical zero — is used as a starting point. The fact that this bound should be defined in each concrete case is demonstrated by the results obtained by exploration of the pp reaction and the S-wave π±d-elastic collisions. Also discussed are numerical and analytical methods for finding the action radius depending on the studied function, the accuracy required for its evaluation, the scattering energy and the sign of the Coulomb potential.

The theoretical evaluation of diÆerential cross-section values for low-energy re- actions of light elements is of great importance in the fields of IBA (Ion Beam Analysis) and nuclear astrophysics. R-matrix theory is generally accepted as the most appropriate one for the analysis of resonance reactions in low-energy nuclear physics. In this approach, the configuration space of the scattering problem is divided into an internal region, corresponding to the compound nucleus, where the total wave function can be expanded into a complete set of eigenstates (in terms of unknown base functions, with the energy eigenvalues and the matrix elements of the base functions being adjustable parameters) and an external region, where the possible combinations of coupled particle pairs exist, corresponding to the reaction channels that emerge from the compound nucleus. This division of space is made by the choice of the boundary of the compound nucleus, i.e. an appropriate nuclear radius is chosen for each reaction channel. The R-matrix takes account of all the interactions which occur inside the nucleus. In the present work, results obtained in the specific case of elastic scattering and charged-particle nuclear reactions, namely for the 12C+p system are presented.

Aiming at the simulation of the fine process of the electron transportation in gamma detectors, we calculate electron differential scattering cross-section (DCS) of several typical materials including Fe, ethylene and polyethylene. Based on two different calculation methods, which are partial wave methods based on Dirac equation and R-matrix theory, we find differences of the cross section at low energy region. The result indicates that both partial wave method and R-matrix theory associated with independent atom method (IAM) are not suitable for low energy electron impacting on strong coupled molecule, for example, electron-ethylene. For high energy electron interacting with atom and molecule, the result shows no critical difference because the kinetic energy of the incident electron is severely higher than the electron bound energy in molecule or the excitation energy of a certain atom.
