Born Approximation vs Optical Model for Elastic Intermediate‐Energy Proton Scattering by Nuclei
Abstract Elastic scattering of protons on , , , and nuclei is analyzed in the framework of the Born approximation and an optical model for energies of 150 to 320 MeV. Analytical expressions for the scattering amplitudes, differential cross sections and polarization observables are obtained both in the Born approximation and within an optical model approach. The differences between outcomes of these approaches are discussed.
