Microscopic versus macroscopic descriptions of the (p, n) charge-exchange reaction

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik

Abstract

We discuss macroscopic form factors generated using the Lane equations, and microscopic form factors generated using a complex effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, in terms of their similarities, differences, and relative successes in describing experimental data for90Zr(p, n)90NbA and91Zr(p, n)91NbA from 22 to 40 MeV. Our conclusions are that the (p, n) cross sections are insensitive to the precise nature of the form factor, so long as it is complex and has an imaginary part which is surface peaked. Such a form factor results from all of the prescriptions we discuss.
