Application of the diffraction theory to proton scattering by the 15C nucleus in inverse kinematics

The calculation of the amplitude of proton elastic scattering by unstable neutron-rich nucleus 15C within the Glauber diffraction theory with the 15C nucleus wave function in the multiparticle shell model is presented. In optical limit approximation (single scattering), the differential cross section of proton elastic scattering is calculated at energies of 0.2, 0.6, and 1 GeV/nucleon. For an energy of 0.2 GeV/nucleon, the contribution of double scattering, determining the differential cross section at angles exceeding 20° is taken into account.
