In recent years there has been growing interest in the nucleon-nucleon correl ations inside nuclei. In many respects the motions of the nucleons can be very well described by an overall mean field, so that the motion of each nucleon is governed by the mean field due to all the other nucleons. This concept underlies the Fermi-gas, Hartree-Fock and shell models and has enabled a range of nuclear properties to be calculated, often to surprising accuracy. It gradually became clear, however, that these mean-field models are limited by the effects due to the very strong interactions between the nucleons that occur at short distances; these are the short-range correlations. They are responsible for...
Because it determines many of the features of nuclear reactions, such as knockout, inelastic scattering, and transfer processes at high energies, the momentum distribution of the nucleons in atomic nuclei is crucial to our understanding of nuclear structure. The distribution can be calculated from several models and the correctness of the result assessed experimentally. Due to the effects of short-range correlations and the many-body nature of the problem, these calculations are often difficult, requiring a variety of mathematical techniques. This book discusses these techniques and shows how the results may be related to measurements in the lab. This is a complete sourcebook for theoretical and experimental nuclear physicists.
