Abstract: (APS)
A new theoretical approach to the study of the nuclear interaction between heavy ions is presented. The potential governing the collision between complex nuclei is derived from a statistical theory of finite nuclei based on nuclear-matter calculations and is presented as an application to the O16-O16 elastic scattering process. A phase-shift analysis of the experimental data on O16-O16 scattering is performed which shows, first, that an excellent fit can be obtained with a real potential up to 14 MeV, and second, that there exists a short-range repulsion. The best-fit potential is in close agreement with the calculated potential in the attractive region, but has a weaker and shorter-range repulsion.References(5)
