Abstract
Reaction-cross-section data for proton-nucleus scattering up to 1 GeV have been analyzed in a black-disk model. Simple phenomenological relations are derived, which make it possible to predict the energy dependence of proton-nucleus reaction cross sections. The relations require only the total cross sections in nucleon-nucleon scattering and the matter densities of the proton and the target nucleus.
