Microscopic analysis of antiproton-nucleus elastic scattering

Elastic antiproton-nucleus scattering is analysed with a microscopic optical model potential obtained by convoluting an effective interaction with target densities. Local, energy- and density-dependent complex effective interactions are constructed from reaction matrices generated with the Dover-Richard and Paris potentials. Effects of nuclear medium correction on the final results are examined. Comparison is made between the calculated results and the experimental data from LEAR which include the first polarization data as well as differential cross sections.
