Abstract

The polarization and correlation contributions to the single-particle energies of neutrons and protons in ²⁰⁸Pb are evaluated by using the dispersion relation approach developed in a previous paper. One test of the meaningfulness of the approach is proposed and applied. Several comparisons with empirical data are performed and turn out to be satisfactory on the average.

Experimental study of shell-model occupancies employing a new sum rule
1992, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
Despite of the obvious success of the nuclear shell model the occupation numbers of nucleons in the shell model orbitals could not be determined precisely. The interpretation of one-nucleon transfer and quasi-free knock-out experiments, the classical tools for nuclear structure studies, did not yield reliable absolute spectroscopic factors mainly because of the uncertain distortions. In contrast, relative spectroscopic factors can be extracted with high precision because many sources of systematic experimental errors vanish and the uncertain DWBA or DWIA predictions enter as corrections only. On the other hand, elastic electron scattering represents a high precision tool to study nuclear charge density distributions which, however, offers no direct model-independent access to occupation numbers. To exploit the advantages of the different probes a Combined Evaluation of Relative spectroscopic factors and Electron Scattering, the CERES approach, has been developed to study the occupation numbers of the $3s_{12}$ proton orbital in ²⁰⁶Pb. New precise relative experiments on ²⁰⁴Hg,²⁰⁵Tl and ^205,206Pb provide the necessary input data for the CERES sum rule. The occupation number n_3s(208) for the $3s_{12}$ proton orbital in ²⁰⁶Pb is found as n_3s(208) = 2.46(16)★z, where z represents the absolute $3s_{12}$ contribution to the charge density difference of ²⁰⁶Pb-²⁰⁵Tl. Based on the most recent interpretation of z = 0.64(6) we obtain n_3s(208) = 1.57(10)[17]. The resulting depletion of ≈ 20% agrees well with other recent experimental findings and constrains the mean-field predictions.
Final state interactions and y-scaling in inclusive electron scattering
1989, Physics Letters B
The role of final state interactions in inclusive electron scattering off nuclei is investigated in the single-particle Green function formalism with a complex optical potential. In the eikonal approximation the y-scaling properties are discussed. It is suggested that the dominance of the contribution from the imaginary part W of the optical potential to the scaling function at large negative values of the scaling variable y found by Gurvitz and Rinat is appreciably reduced if off-shell effects are taken into account. It is shown that if a reasonable off-shell extrapolation of W is used, a satisfactory description of the observed scaling function is obtained for ⁴He and nuclear matter.
Birth, life and death of hot nuclei
1989, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
“Intermediate energy heavy-ions (10–100 MeV/u) are the most powerful tool to study hot nuclear matter properties”. In this paper we give a review of experimental and theoretical works which support this statement. The first challenge is to achieve hot nuclei formation. The second one is to study their properties. The formation step is governed by the relative influence of nucleon-nucleon collisions and mean field effects. Fundamental quantities such as excited matter decay time, thermalization time, relaxation time for collective modes are of major importance and are compared with typical collision times. It appears that semi-classical theories are able to give a reasonable description of the collision and that they are a good guide for defining further experiments. We show how it has been possible to experimentally establish that very hot equilibrated nuclei are really formed. Their decay properties are not basically different from decay properties at lower bombarding energy. However specific channels are open: in that sense, we take stock of the multifragmentation process. Moreover, compression effects may be an important feature of this energy range. Future studies will involve heavier projectiles around 30–50 MeV/u. They will be the best probe for hot and compressed nuclear matter studies.
Semiclassical and phase space approaches to dynamic and collisional problems of nuclei
1989, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
This article summarises recent work on the semiclassical (Thomas-Fermi like) treatment of nuclear correlations and dynamical problems. After a short outline of the general technique the nucleon-nucleus optical potential in the doorway approximation (2p-1h and 2h-1p intermediate states) is treated. The imaginary part serves to calculate the energy dependent correction to the real part. The level density parameter, occupation numbers, and the mean free path are discussed. The semiclassical treatment of the nuclear response function is given in detail. Applications to inelastic electron scattering in the quasi-elastic peak region are presented. Analogously, inelastic proton scattering is calculated. Because of the surface absorption this reaction excites the surface response. The imaginary part of the single-particle (hole) potential in the evaluation of the response function introduces a 2p-2h spreading. The missing charge in the longitudinal response is reduced but not all experimental puzzles can be explained. The experience gained in the description of phenomena close to equilibrium serves to construct solutions of the Landau-Vlasov (alias Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck) equation for the description of non-equilibrium processes encountered in heavy ion reactions.
The missing charge problem in the longitudinal response and the importance of two-particle-two-holes states

Empirical and theoretical investigation of the average potential of nucleons in <sup>40</sup>Ca and <sup>208</sup>Pb
1986, Nuclear Physics, Section A
From compilations of the empirical values of the complex mean field V(r; E) + iW(r; E) felt by protons and neutrons in ⁴⁰Ca and ²⁰⁸Pb, it is concluded that the radial moments ∫ V(r; E)r^q dr and ∫ W(r; E)r^q dr are fairly well determined by the experimental data, the favoured values of the exponent being q ≈ 0.4–0.8 in the case of the real part V and q≈ 1.2 ± 0.4 in the case of the imaginary part W. For a given value of q, the energy dependence of the radial moment of V can be obtained from that of W by means of a dispersion relation. The latter satisfactorily accounts for the anomalous energy dependence of the radial moments of V at low energy. It predicts that this anomaly is accompanied by a rapid energy dependence of the radial shape of V, in keeping with a recent phenomenological analysis of the scattering cross sections of neutrons by ²⁰⁸Pb.
