English abstract Proton total-reaction cross-section (σR), measurements for about five nuclei in the range 12C to 208Pb at beam energies spanning 40–800 MeV have been analyzed in a systematic way by using the optical limit approximation of the Coulomb-modified Glauber multiple scattering theory. Two different phenomenological nuclear density distributions of the target nucleus in addition to the realistic one have been used in the present analysis. By applying the energy dependence in the slope parameter of nucleon–nucleon (NN) scattering amplitude, it is found that in general, the predictions of σR with the phenomenological Gambhir and Patil density distribution agree fairly well with the experimental data. The inclusion of phase in the NN amplitude improves the theoretical results. Our analysis shows that the calculated total reaction cross sections closely reproduce the measured data over the whole range of energy considered in this work. To validate our analyses, we have also obtained a fairly good representation of elastic p-nucleus differential scattering cross section data. The effect of a Coulomb energy shift in the proton beam has also been studied
