Elastic Scattering of 5.7 Mev Protons from Fe, Cr and Ti

Abstract

Using 5.7 Mev protons from the cyclotron, the angular distributions of protons elastically scattered from Fe, Cr and Ti were investigated by means of nuclear emulsion technique. The angular distributions of the elastically scattered protons by these nuclei were similar to that of Ni, that is, the differential cross sections in the ratio to those of the Rutherford scattering increase linearly at large angles. Some qualitative arguments are given about this characteristic feature of these nuclei, together with previously measured elements Ni and Zn.
