Abstract:

A FORTRAN code Program SCAT 4 is described which was written in order to analyze elastic scattering of various particles against complex nuclei by means of the diffuse surface optical model of the nucleus. Program SCAT 4 calculates in the center-of-mass system the differential elastic scattering cross sections the polarization and the total reaction cross section for particles of spin 0 or 12 having any mass, charge and non-relativistic energy scattered by spinless nuclei of any mass and charge for various sets of diffuse surface optical model parameters. The incident and target particles are assumed to interact through a two-body potential consisting of a complex nuclear potential which includes spin-orbit interaction and whose shape can be specified by input parameters. When the incident particle is charged, the two body potential contains, in addition, the coulomb potential between an incident point charge and an extended, constant charge density target. The calculations include numerical integrations of the radial Schroedinger equations for the effective partial waves. Author
