Triton Elastic Scattering

Abstract

Differential cross sections for 15- and 20-MeV tritons elastically scattered from $^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$ and $^{62}\mathrm{Ni}$ and 20-MeV tritons from $^{64}\mathrm{Ni}$, $^{90}\mathrm{Zr}$, and $^{116}\mathrm{Sn}$ are reported. The data are in good agreement with optical-model calculations using standard Woods-Saxon potential wells. The derived optical parameters are considered useful in distorted-wave calculations for reactions involving tritons and also indicate physical features of the triton interaction.
