Abstract | ||
The nuclear charge density distributions, form factors and corresponding proton, charge, neutron, and matter root mean square radii for stable 4He, 12C, and 16O nuclei have been calculated using single-particle radial wave functions of Woods-Saxon potential and harmonic-oscillator potential for comparison. The calculations for the ground charge density distributions using the Woods-Saxon potential show good agreement with experimental datafor 4He nucleus while the results for 12C and 16O nuclei are better in harmonic-oscillator potential. The calculated elastic charge form factors in Woods-Saxon potential are better than the results of harmonic-oscillator potential. Finally, the calculatedroot mean square radii usingWoods-Saxon potentialshow overestimation in comparison with experimental data on contrary to the results of harmonic-oscillator potential. | ||
