The behavior of reaction cross-section at low and intermediate energies by considering in-medium effects in σNN for light and heavy target nuclei

Abstract

The in-medium effects in nucleon-nucleon cross-section were treated using different approaches. We study the variation of σR with different values of rms. Also we study the variation of sR with different values of incident energy per projectile nucleon for light interacting pair 12C-12C and heavy target nucleus pair12C-208Pb. The coulombs repulsion was taken into consideration by assuming a simple model. We found that the in-medium effects on σR are small when the target nucleus becomes heavy.
