Systematic analysis of 17,19F and 16,17O elastic scattering on 208Pb just below the coulomb barrier

The F-17, O-17 + Pb-208 elastic scattering at 90.4 and 78 MeV (just below coulomb barrier), respectively, are analyzed within the framework of the double folding approach. The folded potentials are constructed by folding the density independent M3Y effective nucleon-nucleon interaction over the nucleon density distribution of F-17 and its mirror O-17 nuclei. Gaussian oscillator (GO) density distribution is considered to represent the (core(16)O+nucleon) structure for F-17 and O-17. The knock-on exchange potentials are introduced to construct the real semi-microscopic potentials. The imaginary potentials are supplemented to derive potentials in two forms: either phenomenological Woods-Saxon (WS) or the same form as real folded potentials and different strengths. Moreover, the analysis of F-19, O-16 + Pb-208 elastic scattering at 91, 78 MeV energies, in that order, is applied in comparison to the F-17, O-17 + Pb-208 systems in an endeavor to investigate the behavior and properties of F-17 and O-17 projectiles.

Automated summary

The elastic scattering of F-17 and O-17 with Pb-208 at 90.4 and 78 MeV energies was analyzed using the double folding approach. The study focused on the structure and properties of F-17 and O-17 nuclei through the analysis of their interactions with Pb-208.
