Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The nucleon self-energies of 40Ca, 48Ca, and 208Pb are determined using a
nonlocal dispersive optical model (DOM). By enforcing the dispersion relation
connecting the real and imaginary part of the self-energy, both experimental
scattering data and nuclear structure data are used to constrain these
self-energies. The ability to calculate both bound and scattering states
simultaneously puts these self-energies in a unique position to consistently
describe exclusive knockout reactions such as (e,e'p). Using the
well-constrained self-energy describing 40Ca, the distorted-wave impulse
approximation (DWIA) description of the (e,e'p) reaction is shown to be valid
for outgoing proton kinetic energies around 100 MeV. …
