A SEMICLASSICAL DISTORTED-WAVE MODEL ANALYSIS OF ONE-STEP PROCESS IN PROTON INELASTIC-SCATTERING TO CONTINUUM

The semiclassical distorted-wave model of one-step inelastic scattering recently developed is extended to include the effects of non-locality of distorting potentials and energy and angle dependence of two-nucleon scattering cross sections, and is applied to calculation of (p, p'x) cross sections for target nuclei ranging from Fe-54 to Bi-209 at incident energies ranging from 62 to 200 MeV. The model reproduces experimental cross sections, including the absolute magnitude, at forward angles and high energies of the outgoing protons. The effects of the corrections on the calculated cross sections, and comparisons with other models are discussed.
