A Comprehensive Description of 19F Elastic Scattering by 12C, 16O, 66Zn, 159Tb, and 208Pb Target Nuclei

In this study, we analyze the elastic scattering angular distributions of 19F projectiles on 12C, 16O, 66Zn, 159Tb, and 208Pb target nuclei at different incident energies. In this context, our work is carried out in three stages. First of all, different and alternative density distributions of the 19F nucleus are proposed. Then, the real potentials of the optical model are obtained by using the density distributions obtained for the 19F nucleus within the double-folding model. The imaginary potential is assumed to have a Woods-Saxon form. It is observed that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Finally, new and global imaginary potential equations which will be evaluated in the analysis of the interactions of 19F projectiles on different targets are achieved for each density distribution.
