Amplitude of Scattering of Protons on the Bounded Nuclear Nucleons from Analysis of the Proton-Nucleus Scattering

The results of calculations and their comparison with experimental data of proton scattering on ¹²C, ⁴⁰Ca, ⁵⁸Ni and ²⁰⁸Pb nuclei at energies from 200 to 1000 MeV are investigated based on the optical potential model in which the amplitude of scattering of an incident proton on a bound nuclear nucleon is explicitly revealed. This amplitude depends on three parameters, namely, the total nucleon-nucleon scattering cross section, the ration of real to imaginary parts of scattering amplitude at forward angles, and on the slope parameter. This analysis of proton-nucleus scattering data allows one to establish these parameters and compare them with those from the analysis of proton scattering on a free unbounded nucleon.
