Comparative analysis of proximity potentials to describe scattering of 13C projectile off 12C, 16O, 28Si and 208Pb nuclei

In this work, we examine the elastic scattering cross sections of 13C on 12C, 16O, 28Si and 208Pb target nuclei at different incident energies. For the first time, we apply six types of proximity potentials such as Broglia andWinther 1991 (BW 91), AageWinther (AW95), Christensen and Winther 1976 (CW 76), Bass 1973 (Bass 73), Bass 1977 (Bass 77) and Bass 1980 (Bass 80) in order to obtain the real part of the optical potential. The imaginary part is taken as the Woods-Saxon potential. Theoretical results are compared with each other as well as the experimental data.
