Relation between total cross sections from elastic scattering and α-induced reactions: The example of 64Zn
Abstract
The total reaction cross section is related to the elastic scattering angular distribution by a basic quantum-mechanical relation. We present new experimental data for α-induced reaction cross sections on 64Zn which allow for the first time the experimental verification of this simple relation at low energies by comparison of the new experimental reaction data to the result obtained from 64Zn(α,α)64Zn elastic scattering.
