Approximate Lane consistency of the dispersive coupled-channels potential for actinides

Abstract

A previously derived dispersive coupled-channels optical model potential for nucleon scattering on 232Th and 238U nuclei [Capote, Soukhovitskii, Quesade, and Chiba, Phys. Rev. C 72, 064610 (2005)] has been tested against experimental data on quasielastic (p,n) scattering to the isobaric analog states of corresponding target nuclei. The Lane potential derived from the isovector term of the dispersive coupled-channels optical model potential has been shown to approximately reproduce available experimental differential cross-section data for the quasielastic (p,n) reaction; therefore the approximate Lane consistency of that potential has been established.
