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 - Sn-116, Sn-118, and Sn-120 - 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.
