On the absorptive potential and the mean free path of a nucleon in nuclear matter 009>S

  • 1. Institute for Nuclear Studies, Otwock-Swierk (Poland)

Description

A simple expression for the nuclear absorptive potential W in nuclear matter in terms of free NN cross section is derived from the Brueckner theory and tested against ''exact'' results. It is a modification of the semiclassical expression, which takes into account the Pauli blocking and dispersive effects. It is used to calculate W and the nucleon mean free path λ in nuclear matter for nucleon energies up to ∼ 200 MeV. Results obtained with non-locality corrections agree reasonably well with experiment. The dependence of W and λ on the temperature of nuclear matter is also discussed. 29 refs., 9 figs. (author)
