A C-code for the double folding interaction potential of two spherical nuclei Original Research Article

We present a C-code designed to obtain the nucleus–nucleus potential by using the double folding model (DFM) and in particular to find the Coulomb barrier. The program calculates the nucleus–nucleus potential as a function of the distance between the centers of mass of colliding nuclei. The most important output parameters are the Coulomb barrier energy and the radius. Since many researchers use a Woods–Saxon profile for the nuclear term of the potential we provide an option in our code for fitting the DFM potential by such a profile.
