The single particle radial wave functions of harmonic oscillator potential and Woods-Saxon potential have been used to calculate the charge density distributions, charge form factor and the matter and charge root mean square (rms) radii for some odd-A 1p shell nuclei, namely 9
IntroductionThe charge density distribution has been well studied experimentally over a wide range of nuclei because it is one of the many most important quantities in the nuclear structure [1]. The important information about the nuclear structure is obtained from the high energy electron scattering by the nuclei. At high energy, in the range of 100 MeV and more, the electron represents a best probe to study the nuclear structure because with these energies the de Broglie wavelength will be in the range of the spatial extension of the target nucleus [2]. We can distinguish two different types of the electron scattering: the first type is called elastic electron scattering where the nucleus is left on its ground state. The second is inelastic electron scattering where the nucleus is left in its different excited states [3].Gibson [4] has been study the ground state of the 4 He nucleus using a single-particle phenomenological model. Wave functions were generated from a potential whose parameters are chosen to reproduce the correct neutron separation energy. Ridha [5] has been used the single-particle radial wave functions of Woods-Saxon potential and harmonicoscillator potential to study the nuclear charge density distributions, form factors and corresponding proton, charge, neutron, and
