Reaction Parameters for Heavy-Ion Collisions
The relevant formulae are calculated if 
and
are the
mass (in amu) and charge number of the projectile and target nucleus, respectively,
and T is the laboratory energy (in MeV).
nuclear radius for homogeneous (sharp) mass distribution:
nuclear radius for diffuse (Fermi) mass distribution:
nuclear interaction radius:
grazing angular momentum:
quarter-point angle in the center-of-mass system:
partial reaction cross section:
total reaction cross section:
with the Sommerfeld Parameter:
the asymptotic wave number:
the half the distance of closest approach in a head-on collison:
the Coulomb potential at 
:
and the center-of-mass energy:
