Abstract

An unfolding method is proposed to extract ground-state nuclear matter densities from heavy-ion elastic scattering data analyses at low (sub-barrier) and intermediate energies. The consistency of the results is fully checked. The method should be of value in determining densities for exotic nuclei.
