A previously derived dispersive coupled-channels optical model potential for nucleon scattering on 232Th and 238U nuclei [Capote, Soukhovitskii, Quesade, and Chiba, Phys. Rev. C 72, 064610 (2005)] has been tested against experimental data on quasielastic (p,n) scattering to the isobaric analog states of corresponding target nuclei. The Lane...

An extension for odd-A actinides of a previously derived dispersive coupledchannel optical model potential (OMP) for 238U and 232Th nuclei is presented. It is used to fit simultaneously all the available experimental databases including neutron strength functions for nucleon scattering on 232Th, 233,235,238U and 239Pu nuclei. Quasi-elastic...

An isospin-dependent coupled-channel optical model potential containing a dispersive term with a nonlocal contribution is used to simultaneously fit the available experimental database (including strength functions and scattering radius) for neutron and proton scattering on strongly deformed 238U and232Th nuclei. The energy range 0.001–200 MeV...

An isospin-dependent coupled-channels optical model potential containing a dispersive term (including nonlocal contribution) is used to simultaneously fit the available experimental database (including strength functions and scattering radius) for neutron and proton scattering on strongly deformed 232Th nucleus.

A dispersive coupled-channel optical model potential (DCCOMP) that couples the ground-state rotational and low-lying vibrational bands of 238U and 232Th nuclei is studied. The derived DCCOMP couples almost all excited levels below 1 MeV of excitation energy of the corresponding even-even actinides. The ground state, octupole, beta, gamma, and...

The Tamura coupling model [Rev. Mod. Phys. 37, 679 (1965)] has been extended to consider the coupling of additional low-lying rotational bands to the ground-state band. Rotational bands are built on vibrational bandheads (even-even targets) or single-particle bandheads (odd-A targets) including both axial and nonaxial deformations. These...

The previously derived Lane consistent dispersive coupled-channel optical model for nucleon scattering on 232Th and 238U nuclei is extended to describe scattering on even-even actinides with Z=90-98. A soft-rotator-model (SRM) description of the low-lying nuclear structure is used, where the SRM Hamiltonian parameters are adjusted to the...

A new dispersive multiband coupled channels optical model with soft-rotator "effective" deformations is proposed to describe nucleon scattering on even-even and odd-A actinides. The impact of the introduction of axial and non-axial dynamical deformations that describe nuclear softness is discussed. Softness and multiband coupling are shown to...

A new dispersive coupled-channel optical model (DCCOM) is derived that describes nucleon scattering on 238U and 232Th targets using a soft-rotator-model (SRM) description of the collective levels of the target nucleus. SRM Hamiltonian parameters are adjusted to the observed collective levels of the target nucleus. SRM nuclear wave functions...

An approximate Lane-consistent dispersive coupled-channels optical potential is derived that describes nucleon-induced reactions on even iron isotopes. Realistic saturated couplings for 54,56,58Fe nuclei are built using nuclear wave functions of the soft-rotator model with the Hamiltonian parameters adjusted to reproduce the energy of the...

Elastic and inelastic scattering of unpolarized and polarized protons by 40Ar nuclei for incident energies between 20 and 50 MeV has been studied by reanalyzing experimental scattering spectra for the 2+(1.46 MeV) and 3-(3.68 MeV) levels in the angular range 30º–160º for incident protons of energies of 25.1, 32.5, and 40.7 MeV. An isospin...
