A simple functional form has been found that gives a good representation of the total reaction cross sections for the scattering from ${}^{208}$Pb of protons with energies in the range 30 to 300 MeV.
Total cross sections for neutron scattering from nuclei, with energies ranging from 10 to 600 MeV and from many nuclei spanning the mass range 6Li to 238U, have been analyzed using a simple, three-parameter, functional form. The calculated cross sections are compared with results obtained by using microscopic (g-folding) optical potentials as well as with experimental data. The functional form reproduces those total cross sections very well. When allowance is made for Ramsauer-like effects in the scattering, the parameters of the functional form required vary smoothly with energy and target mass. They too can be represented by functions of energy and mass.
Total reaction cross sections of deuteron, $sigma_d^{rm R}$, are calculated by a microscopic three-body reaction model. The reaction model has no free adjustable parameter and applicable to reactions at various deuteron incident energies $E_d$ and with both stable and unstable nuclei. The predicted $sigma_d^{rm R}$ are consistent with those evaluated by a phenomenological optical potential for $E_dleq 200$ MeV in which the potential has been parametrized. A simple formula of $sigma_d^{rm R}$ up to $E_d=1$ GeV, as a function of $E_d$, the target mass number $A$ and its atomic number $Z$, is given.
We perform a parameter-free calculation for the high-energy proton-nucleus scattering based on the Glauber theory. A complete evaluation of the so-called Glauber amplitude is made by using the factorization of the single-particle wave functions. The multiple-scattering or multistep processes are fully taken into account within the Glauber theory. We demonstrate that proton- $^{12}$C, $^{20}$Ne, and $^{28}$Si elastic and inelastic scattering ($J^pi=0^+ to 2^+$ and $0^+ to 4^+$) processes are very well described in a wide range of the incident energies from $sim$50 MeV to $sim$ 1 GeV. We evaluate the validity of a simple one-step approximation andfind that the approximation works fairly well for the inelastic $0^+ to 2^+$ processes but not for $0^+ to 4^+$ where the multistep processes become more important. As an application, we quantify the difference between the total reaction and interaction cross sections of proton-$^{12}$C, $^{20}$Ne, and $^{28}$Si collisions.
The 5-dimensional spin-0 form of the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau (KDP) equation is used to calculate scattering observables [elastic differential cross sections ($dsigma/dOmega$), total cross sections ($sigma_{Tot}$), and reaction cross sections ($sigma_{Reac}$})] and to deduce $sigma_{Tot}$ and $sigma_{Reac}$ from transmission data for $K^+ + $ $^{6}$Li, $^{12}$C, $^{28}$Si, and $^{40}$Ca at several momenta in the range $488 - 714 MeV/c$. Realistic uncertainties are generated for the theoretical predictions. These errors, mainly due to uncertainties associated with the elementary $K^+ +$ nucleon amplitudes, are large, so that the disagreement that has been noted between experimental and theoretical $sigma_{Tot}$ and $sigma_{Reac}$ is not surprising. The results suggest that the $K^+ +$ nucleon amplitudes need to be much better determined before unconventional medium effects are invoked to explain the data.
