Study of reaction and decay using densities from relativistic mean field theory    [PDF]

G. Gangopadhyay

Relativistic mean field calculations have been performed to obtain nuclear density pro- file. Microscopic interactions have been folded with the calculated densities of finite nuclei to obtain a semi-microscopic potential. Life time values for the emission of proton, alpha particles and complex clusters have been calculated in the WKB approach assum- ing a tunneling process through the potential barrier. Elastic scattering cross sections have been estimated for proton-nucleus scattering in light neutron rich nuclei. Low en- ergy proton reactions have been studied and their astrophysical implications have been discussed. The success of the semi-microscopic potentials obtained in the folding model with RMF densities in explaining nuclear decays and reactions has been emphasized.
