Proton-4He elastic scattering at 350–1728MeV energies: Three-body force effect

Abstract

An approach for the three-body force effect is used to study p-[Formula: see text] elastic scattering at energies 350–1728[Formula: see text]MeV. The multiple scattering theory of Glauber and the optical limit approximation are used in calculations of elastic scattering differential cross-section at 350, 600, 800, 1000 and 1728[Formula: see text]MeV. The inclusion of 2[Formula: see text]-exchange three-nucleon force improves the agreement with the experimental data for both approximations. The results of optical limit approximation without three-nucleon force effect are clearly smaller than the results of multiple scattering theory for [Formula: see text] due to the absence of multiple scattering terms in the first. However, with inclusion of three-nucleon force, the results of both approximations are approximately similar.
