Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

At energies of 50 and 60 MeV, the elastic scattering of 3 He nuclei on 13 C nuclei is investigated at laboratory angles in the range 10°–170°. The measured differential cross sections are analyzed on the basis of the optical model of the nucleus by using Woods-Saxon potentials, including both volume and surface absorption. The potential parameters are determined by fitting the computed cross sections to experimental data. It is found that, even in the region of sensitivity, the values of the real and imaginary parts of the potentials ( V and W , respectively) show considerable scatter, with extreme values differing by a factor greater than two. This scatter is explained by the existence of a V-W ambiguity in choosing optical potentials.
