Abstract: | The interactions of 208Pb projectiles with natU target have been studied at 14.0 MeV/u beam energy using two different threshold detectors; mica and lexan. The elastic scattering data have been separated from the binary events and used for the determination of quarter-point angle θ1/4 (≡ grazing angle θgr). The values of maximum angular momentum , radius of interaction Rint and reaction cross-section σRexp(el.) were then deduced by making use of the value of θ1/4. The data of inelastic events of different multiplicities have been used to determine partial reaction cross-sections. The sum of the partial cross-sections, therefore, yielded another independent value of reaction cross-section σRexp(inel.) that in turn was used to derive the alternative values of , θgr, and Rint independently. The average of these quantities provided the experimental values of the reaction parameters that are comparable to the theoretical predictions. |
