Nuclear reactions of proton by light nuclei at low energies play a key role in the study ofnucleosynthesis which is of interest in nuclear astrophysics. The most fundamental process whichis very necessary is the elastic scattering. In this work, we construct a microscopic proton-nucleuspotential in order to describe the differential cross-sections over scattering angles of the protonelastic scattering by 12C and 13C in the range of available energies 14 - 22 MeV. The microscopicoptical potential is based on the folding model using the effective nucleon-nucleon interactionCDM3Yn. The results show the promising use of the CDM3Yn interactions at low and very lowenergies, which were originally used for nuclear reactions at intermediate energies. This could bethe premise for the study of nuclear reactions using CDM3Yn interaction in astrophysics at lowenergies.

We propose an off-shell extension of the T-matrix in nuclear reaction theory, by utilizing the R-matrix formalism. The method is illustrated by an analysis of two different two-channel models.

In the present study, two different density distributions of oxygen isotopes ([Formula: see text]O) that consist of the harmonic oscillator single-particle wave functions (SDHO) and the relativistic mean-field (RMF) approaches are investigated for the availability of elastic scattering cross-sections. For this purpose, the elastic scattering angular distributions of nuclear reactions with 13 target nuclei, four target nuclei and nine target nuclei are calculated for [Formula: see text]O, [Formula: see text]O and [Formula: see text]O, respectively. For these calculations, the double folding model based on the optical model is used. The optical potential parameters, volume integrals and cross-sections for all the nuclear reactions are given in this study. The comparison of theoretical results and experimental data shows very good agreement. The imaginary potential depth expressions, which will be new and more practical terms to explain the nuclear interactions of [Formula: see text]O, [Formula: see text]O and [Formula: see text]O with different nuclei, for each oxygen isotope are proposed.

This article involves computer simulation and surface analysis by nuclear techniques, which are non-destructive. The “energy method of analysis” for nuclear reactions and elastic scattering is used. Energy spectra are computer simulated and compared with experimental data, giving target composition and concentration profile information. The method is successfully applied to depth profiling of 18O and 12C nuclei in thick targets through the 18O(p,α0)15N and 12C(d,p0)13C reactions, respectively. Similarly, elastic scattering of (4He)+ ions is applied to determination of concentration profiles of O and Al for a thick target containing a thin film of aluminium oxide.

The importance of surface analysis of materials has been increasing. The available techniques are complementary. Nuclear techniques, which are non-destructive, provide analysis for a few microns near the surface. Using low energy ion beams of a few MeV, applications have been made to several areas. Nuclear reactions and elastic scattering are the more precise nuclear techniques for obtaining absolute values of concentrations in surface analysis. Nuclear reactions provide, not only high sensitivities for detection of light elements in heavy substrates, but also discrimination of isotopes. We consider the “energy analysis method”, where a spectrum is acquired of ions from the target for a single energy of an incident ion beam. The spectrum inherently contains target composition and concentration profile information. A computational procedure has been developed for predicting such energy spectra, where elastic scattering is a particular and important case. The model mainly accounts for: target parameters, such as composition and concentration profiles; energy spread of the incident ion beam; geometric factors and target rotation; stopping power; differential cross section; energy straggling; detector resolution. An option permits inclusion of effects such as: multiple scattering; incident beam size and angular divergence; detector angular aperture. Computer simulated spectra are compared to experimental data. The chi-square is calculated, to evaluate the goodness of fit. Through variation of target parameters, so as to fit experimental data, target composition and concentration profiles are obtained.
