Cross section calculations in Glauber model: I. Core plus one-nucleon case Original Research Article

This paper presents a Fortran program to calculate cross sections for various reactions between composite particles in the framework of Glauber theory. The projectile nucleus is described as a core plus one valence-nucleon system. The input data needed for the calculation are the core and target densities and the nucleon–nucleon profile function. The single-particle wave function of the valence nucleon may be provided by a user or generated by the code if appropriate quantum numbers of the wave function are specified. Multiple integrations involving the valence-nucleon wave function are performed by a Monte Carlo technique with Metropolis algorithm. The program gives the total reaction cross section, the one-nucleon removal cross section, the elastic differential cross section, and the longitudinal momentum distribution of the core fragment. Sample calculations include the reactions of 13,19C+12C, 11Be+12C, 11Be+9Be, and 8B+12C systems.
