Black body description of antiproton-nucleus scattering

Angular distributions for elastic scattering of antiprotons from nuclei are analyzed in terms of a fuzzy black disk model. Data from /sup 12/C, /sup 16/O, /sup 18/O, and /sup 40/Ca at incident antiproton energies of 47 and 180 MeV are analyzed. The obtained fits are qualitatively good concerning the slope and position of the extrema, but are too deep in the minima.
