K^- Nucleus Elastic Scattering and Momentum-Dependent Optical Potentials

The K? nucleus differential elastic scattering cross section for 12C and 40Ca at is calculated with three momentum-dependent optical potential models, which are density-dependent, relativistic mean field, and hybrid model, respectively. It is found that the forms of momentum-dependent optical potential models proposed by us are reasonable and gain success in the calculations and the momentum-dependent hybrid model is the best model for the K? nucleus elastic scattering.

Role of a high ground-state centrifugal barrier in the breakup of the ^(31)Ne nucleus

An analysis of the breakup of the 31 Ne weakly-bound neutron-halo system on a lead target is presented,considering the 2p_(3/2) and 1f_(7/2) ground-state configurations.It is shown that a high centrifugal barrier almost wipes out the breakup channel,thus assimilating the breakup of a weakly-bound system to that of a tightly-bound system,and also reduces the range of the monopole nuclear potential.Consequently,a high centrifugal barrier prevents the suppression of the Coulomb-nuclear interference(CNI) peak by weakening couplings to the breakup channel and reducing the range of the monopole nuclear potential,two main factors that would otherwise suppress such a peak.The present study also identifies couplings to the breakup channel and a long-ranged monopole nuclear potential as the main factors that lead to the suppression of the CNI peak.A low centrifugal barrier together with a Coulomb barrier would also effectively prevent the suppression of the CNI peak in proton-halos as reported in the case of the 8B proton-halo.
