Abstract

The differential elastic scatterings of (240–300) MeV K+-mesons in G-5 nuclear emulsions have been analysed in terms of exact diffuse-surface optical-model of the nucleus and the real nuclear volume potential integral per nucleon (I v ) obtained. By making Chi square comparison between the experimental cross-sections and the theoretically calculated values for the optical model parameters R0=1·07 F anda=0·57 F, I v comes out to be (100±30) MeV F3. The analysis also confirms that for K+-nucleus scattering, repulsive potential is by far more probable than an attractive one. The K+-free nucleon cross-section has been estimated to lie in the range (13·5±1·7) mb.
