Calculation of the shell-model potential from the optical-model potential

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
A dispersion-relation approach is developed for deriving the shell-model potential from the optical-model potential, i.e., for extrapolating the mean field from positive towards negative nucleon energies. This method is applied to neutrons in /sup 208/Pb. The average neutron-nucleus potential is assumed to have a Woods-Saxon shape; its depth, radius, and diffuseness are calculated for nucleon energies which range from -20 to +40 MeV.
