Brief description Predictions of nucleon-nucleus cross sections for all energies to 300 MeV based upon microscopic theories of N-A scattering. Cross sections from nucleon-nucleus scattering and reactions are central quantities of import in diverse fields of study. They are most important in evaluations for nucleon radiation therapy, in material science for radiation safety as well as damage to electronics, with use of accelerator technology for waste management as well as possible power generation. They are important in fundamental physics problems as in nuclear astrophysics and in studies of radioactive nuclear ions. A theoretical framework is required to make reliable predictions of nucleon-nucleus scattering. This project seeks to establish predictive methods of analysis for all nucleon energies to 300 MeV.
