A DOUBLE-FOLDING POTENTIAL FOR NA-23 ON PB-208 SCATTERING NEAR COULOMB BARRIER

A double-folding potential is generated to describe the interaction of a deformed Na-23 projectile on a Pb-208 target. The finite-range M3Y interaction was used for the effective nucleon-nucleon potential, and the folding of this interaction was performed over the matter density distributions of projectile and target nuclei. Density distributions f or the central and the deformed parts of Na-23 are suggested by fittin g the form factor data from electron scattering.
