Description
Summary:In this study, the nucleon density distributions of tungsten isotopes were calculated using the Skyrme interaction within Hartree–Fock approximation model based on the Woods–Saxon potential. Then, using these densities, the interaction potentials were calculated for the elastic scattering of neutrons from tungsten isotopes through the Single Folding method. The obtained potentials were used as input parameters in the TALYS 1.96 nuclear reaction simulation code to evaluate the angular differential cross sections of the <sup>182,183,184,186</sup>W(n,el) scattering. The evaluated angular differential cross sections were graphically compared with theoretical values found in the literature as well as experimental data available in EXFOR nuclear data library.
