Background: The phase-shift analysis for proton-proton scattering has been studied by various research groups using the realistic potentials to be comprised of various internal interactions based on an exchange of pions and mesons, involving a large number of parameters. Purpose: The goal of the research is to construct inverse potentials for various l-channels of proton-proton (pp) elastic scattering using the 3-parameter Morse function in combination with atomic Hulthen by utilizing the phase function method and variational optimization technique. Methodology: The implementation of variational optimization begins with randomly assigning initial values to the Morse model parameters. Utilizing the Morse + Hulthen potential as input, the phase equations for various l-channels are numerically solved using the RK-5 method for obtaining the simulated Scattering Phase Shift (SPS). Mean Squared error between simulated and expected SPS has been chosen as the cost function. Variational optimization proceeds iteratively by adjusting potential parameters and re-evaluating the cost function until convergence is achieved. Results: All the obtained scattering phase shifts for various l-channels have been found to converge to a mean squared error <= 0.3. The computed cross-sections matched the experimental ones to less than 1% for energies up to 25 MeV. The scattering parameters are also found to closely match the experimental data. Conclusion: The inverse potentials constructed for various l-channels using Morse + atomic Hulthen are on par with the currently available high-precision realistic potentials.
