Nucleon-nucleus and antinucleon-nucleus scattering at intermediate energies
Abstract
Those aspects of nucleon-nucleon (NN) and antinucleon-nucleon (anti N N) couplings which appear to be most important for the calculation and interpretation of N-nucleus and anti N-nucleus scattering at intermediate energies are compared and discussed within a single scattering approximation based on the free NN and anti N N t-matrices. The role of distortion considerations is stressed and, in the case of nucleon scattering, medium corrections to the NN coupling embodied in a nuclear matter G-matrix approach are illustrated and some of their implications are discussed. Some of the most important characteristics of nucleons and antinucleons as probes of nuclear structure are illustrated explicitly in distorted wave calculations of inelastic scattering and charge exchange reactions.
