Abstract
The review presents calculations of elastic p 6He-, p 8Li-, p 9Li- and p 9C scattering in the framework of the Glauber theory of multiple diffraction scattering at intermediate energies of 70 and 700 MeV/nucleon. The most significant result of the calculations is that we have utilized realistic three-body wave functions obtained within modern nuclear models. The relation is found between differential cross sections and intercluster potentials, where the nuclear wave functions are calculated. Conclusions are made concerning the types of potentials which describe most realistically the available experimental data. The method for calculation of three-body wave functions in α-n-n-, α-t-n-, 7Be-p-p-, α-t-2n-, and 7Li-n-n models is described with discussion of inter-cluster potentials and the quantum-number configurations taken into consideration. It is revealed how the wave functions and the nuclear electromagnetic characteristics calculated using these wave functions depend on the choice of intercluster potentials. The derivation of matrix elements (amplitudes) of pA scattering in the framework of the Glauber approach with three-body wave functions is presented by an example of 6He nucleus. Discussing the results of calculation of differential cross sections and the analyzing power (A y ), we established how the calculated characteristics depend on a wave-function structure and dynamics of the process determined by a Glauber operator of multiple scattering. The calculated differential cross sections and analyzing powers are compared with available experimental data and calculations by other authors performed for different formalisms, which allows us to make justified conclusions.
