Abstrakt: The elastic and inelastic scattering of12C on12C has been measured in the angular range between 2.8° and 70.4° in the c.m. system atELab=300 MeV. Optical model calculations have been performed with Woods-Saxon and folded potentials, the ground state and the first 2+-state were coupled in the calculations. The large cross sections of the elastic scattering at large angles is related to the nuclear rainbow scattering, which is centered at about 56°. This requires a potential depth of 100 MeV at a distance of 3 fm, the fit to the data is sensitive down to this region. The calculations with the folded potential show a better agreement with the data than those with the Woods-Saxon shape. The total reaction cross section of 1,420 mb, obtained from the optical model analysis, corresponds to the geometrical value; no transparency is observed.
