Scattering of protons by 9B and 10B isotopes at intermediate energies in the diffraction theory
Differential cross sections of the elastic scattering of protons of intermediate energies by 9B and 10B nuclei are calculated within the Glauber theory. The matrix elements of elastic scattering are derived with a wave function in the three-particle 2αp-model (for 9B) and with an oscillatory wave function (for 10B). The differential cross-sections are calculated with allowance for the triple collisions on 9B nuclei and in the approximation of double collisions on 10B nuclei. The sensitivity of the differential cross-section to the 9B nucleus structure is analyzed. The differential cross section of 10B at E = 197 MeV is compared to the results from calculations using the distorted wave method.
