Pauli blocking in finite nuclei

The Pauli blocking is an important effect in describing a wide range of phenomena, such as inelastic scattering of an interacting particle (π,n,p, etc.)from a nucleus, propagation of a particle in nuclear matter and mass transfer in heavy ion collisions. We discuss here some preliminary results for the Pauli suppression factor P(q) in finite nuclei, using the harmonic oscillator (HO) model and comparing them to those obtained using the Fermi gas (FG) model. We derive an expression for P(q) in terms of the Wigner transform (WT) of the one-body density, which simplifies the calculation of P(q) for the HO model
