Closed-form description of polarization in elastic and inelastic scattering of light and heavy ions
The present work is an extension of this formalism to vector and tensor polarization in elastic and inelastic scattering of spin-s particles. Moreover, it uses the improved formalism developed by Frahn for the study of elastic and inelastic scattering of heavy ions with zero spin. With regard to inelastic scattering, this implies for instance that Coulomb excitation is included in the theory. This work also uses a modification, due to Kauffmann, of Frahn's formalism, whereby the effects of much stronger real nuclear phase shifts may be included.
