Brueckner theory and the heavy ion optical potential up to 150 MeV/A

Using a frozen density approximation the authors have calculated the optical potential for the reaction 16O + 16O at lab. energies of 80, 330, 750, 1330, and 2990 MeV. They have included six surface vibrational states and approximated the finite range effects by folding the bare nuclear matter potential with a Gaussian function. Using this potential the angular distributions for elastic scattering and total cross sections are calculated. Furthermore, the differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of 12C on 12C at Esub(lab) = 1032 MeV are calculated. (HSI)
