Experimental and theoretical investigation of 20Ne+130Te and 20Ne+116Cd reactions

In this PhD thesis presents the investigation of elastic scattering channels of 130Te+20Ne and 116Cd+20Ne reactions at 306 MeV incident energy within the scope of NUMEN (Nuclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay) project. An important part of an overall understanding heavy-ion reactions such as 130Te +20Ne and 116Cd+20Ne is understanding elastic scattering. The most widespread approach used to describe of the elastic scattering of two heavy ions is use of an optical potential. Determining the optical potential is a key element for the study of all reaction channels. Elastic channel for 130Te +20 Ne and 116Cd +20 Ne reactions at θoptlab = 8◦, 13◦, 20◦ angle sets were studied and momentum analysis with MAGNEX spectrometer was performed and differential cross section angular distributions were obtained. The experimental elastic scattering cross section angular distributions were compared with the theoretical calculations performed using the microscopic approach within the framework of the optical model.
