Triton Elastic Scattering

Abstract

Differential cross sections for 15- and 20-MeV tritons elastically scattered from ${}_{}{}^{52}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cr}$ and ${}_{}{}^{62}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ni}$ and 20-MeV tritons from ${}_{}{}^{64}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ni}$, ${}_{}{}^{90}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$, and ${}_{}{}^{116}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Sn}$ are reported. The data are in good agreement with optical-model calculations using standard Woods-Saxon potential wells. The derived optical parameters are considered useful in distorted-wave calculations for reactions involving tritons and also indicate physical features of the triton interaction.
