Limit on charge symmetry breaking in the optical model and the Coulomb energy anomaly

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Cross sections for elastic scattering of neutrons from /sup 40/Ca have been measured at 30.3 and 40.0 MeV and analyzed to obtain optical-model potentials. The optical potentials for neutron and proton scattering are found to be very similar after a correction for Coulomb effects, indicating that a static charge symmetry breaking Hartree potential is too small to explain the Coulomb energy anomaly for bound states.
