Modeling Antinucleon-Nucleus Interactions at Low Energy: An Analysis of Scattering and Annihilation Data Using Optical Potential Approach

Antimatter-matter interactions at low energies have been poorly studied due to the lack of available data and a reliable model for nuclear interactions at these energies. My PhD research activity is an analysis of antinucleon-nucleus scattering and annihilation data using an optical potential model, with a focus on low-energy interactions. The study aims to provide predictions for cross sections and angular distributions for future experiments, which can guide experimental designs.
