Close Similarities in the Excitation Functions from the ElasticO16Scattering from Nuclei withA16

Abstract
Close similarities are found in the gross structures of the excitation functions from the elastic scattering of O16 from N14, N15, and O18. The picture emerging from the optical-model analysis of these data is that of an interaction potential which is totally absorbing for the low-l partial waves and which is very transparent for the surface partial waves.
