Generalized proximity potential for deformed, oriented nuclei

The pocket formula for the proximity potential is generalized for collisions of any two (equal or unequal) deformed nuclei, having any degree of (equal or unequal) orientations (from 0degrees to 180degrees) in space. The method is applied to axially symmetric coplaner nuclei. The case of noncoplaner nuclei will be dealt with in a separate publication.
