The static properties and form factors of the deuteron using the different forms of the Wood–Saxon potential

Authors

Abstract

AbstractThe basic properties and form factors of the deuteron system are investigated for the different forms of the Wood–Saxon potential. We have used the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method for analytical solution of the radial Schrodinger equation. A comparison of the calculated values with experimental results are given. It is shown that the obtained results for the modified form of the Wood–Saxon potential are very close to the experimental results in comparison with other forms of the potential.
