Self-consistent analyses of nuclear level structures, and nucleon interaction data of even-even Sn isotopes

We have analyzed, within a unified approach, nuclear level structure, and nucleon interaction data of the even-even Sn isotopes - ¹¹⁶Sn, ¹¹⁸Sn, and ¹²⁰Sn - using the soft-rotator nuclear model and an appropriate coupled-channels optical model with a dispersive Lane-consistent optical potential. Determined best-fit optical model potential is capable of simultaneously describing all the experimental nucleon interaction data available up to 200 MeV - total neutron cross sections, proton reaction cross sections, nucleon elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections, and direct (p,n) charge exchange reaction cross sections.
