Momentum‐space optical potential SND elastic scattering calculations

Initial results are presented for proton‐nucleus elastic scattering observables calculated with a newly developed microscopic momentum‐space code. This is the first phase of a program to treat elastic and inelastic scatterig consistently via an integral equation approach. A number of microscopic features which are often approximated or ignored are quite amenable to exact treatment within this approach, e.g. non‐local effectss in elastic scattering, and inelastic effects which are non‐linear in the NN t‐matrix and target densities but nevertheless confined to one participating nucleon.
