Explore the construction of a neutron-carbon-12 optical potential up to 500 MeV in this 25-minute conference talk by Imane Moumene at the Galileo Galilei Institute. Discover the results for the energy dependence of total cross sections obtained using the eikonal method with both phenomenological and folded potentials. Compare these findings to experimental data and gain insights into the n-12C interaction. Delve into the intricacies of nuclear physics and optical potential modeling in this informative presentation.
