Proton--nucleus scattering and the nuclear forward-scattering amplitude

Description

It is possible to extract the nuclear part of the forward-scattering amplitude from small-angle proton-nucleus elastic scattering. The process is complicated in practice by the effects of experimental errors and theoretical approximations. Optical-model calculations are done, using 14.5-MeV protons on ¹⁶O, ⁴⁰Ca, and ⁹⁰Zr, to examine the effects of these uncertainties on the determination of the nuclear forward amplitude.
