Semiclassical Distorted Wave Model Analysis of Inclusive (N, N’x) Reactions for Incident Energies up to 400 MeV

Abstract

The semiclassical distorted wave (SCDW) model with the Wigner transform of a one-body density matrix is applied to analyses of multistep direct processes in (p, p’x) reactions on ¹²C, ⁹⁰Zr, and ¹⁹⁷Au at incident energies near 150 MeV, and 392 MeV (p, p’x) and 346 MeV (p, nx) reactions on ⁴⁰Ca. The calculations show good agreement with experimental double-differential cross sections over a wide mass range of target nuclei, except at backward angles.
