Abstract

The elastic and inelastic scattering of protons from mirror nuclei ¹⁸Ne and ¹⁸O are studied in a folding model approach. For comparison, two different effective interactions are folded with Hartree-Fock densities to obtain the nuclear interaction potentials. Both of them provide equivalent descriptions to the data and the deformation parameters extracted from inelastic scattering are reasonable. The density dependence parameters obtained from nuclear matter calculations and used for present analysis also provide a good estimate for the nuclear mean free path. The present formalism unifies radioactivity, nuclear matter and nuclear scattering.
