Model study of intermediate state blocking in first-order optical potential theory

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5598446
Restrictions on the intermediate states allowed for nucleon-nucleon scattering operators embedded in many-nucleon systems can arise in several circumstances. The most familiar is Pauli blocking of the occupied ground-state levels in the nucleon-nucleon G-matrix for nuclear matter. A simple model of the free NN t-matrix is employed to study and compare the effects of intermediate-state modifications through both these operators. Particular attention is paid to the unitarity properties of the resulting modified NN scattering operator for first-order optical potentials.
