The effect of multiple-scattering and density distribution on elastic scattering of high-energy electrons

  • 1. Cairo Univ. (Egypt). Dept. of Physics

Description

Electron-nucleus elastic scattering is calculated by means of multiple-scattering theory of Glauber and the eikonal approximation applied to different forms of nuclear charge distribution. The differences between the calculated cross-section are examined and compared with the experimental data for 12C, 16O, 40Ca and 208Pb nuclei at different energies. A very good agreement with the experimental data, at higher angles, is obtained for densities other than Gaussian. The multiple-scattering shows even better agreement than the eikonal approach for lighter nuclei, especially at the diffraction dip. (author). 14 refs, 8 figs
