Popis: Nuclear fusion is an interesting example of collective nuclear motion; this process provides information on the interaction of nuclei and their structure. Theoretical analysis of fusion cross sections is often based on the double folding model, which is used for calculation of the potential energy of the interaction between colliding nuclei (nucleus-nucleus potential). The nucleon density is an important ingredient of this model. Calculation of this density in the framework of microscopic models is extremely cumbersome. In this paper, we propose a simplified method for calculating the neutron and proton densities based on microscopic densities of six reference nuclei. This method allows one to obtain nucleon densities with minimal computer resources and can be easily used by experimenters.
