Measurements of elastic scattering of 21.5 MeV pi+ and pi- by Si, Ca, Ni and Zr were made using a single arm magnetic spectrometer. Absolute calibration was made by parallel measurements of Coulomb scattering of muons. Parameters of a…

An empirical fit to electron-nucleus scattering for $A>2$ is made based on world data. It is valid for $0<W<3.2$ GeV and $0.2<Q^2<5$ GeV$^2$, and can be used with caution at lower $Q^2$. The fit is based on previous empirical fits to…

A hitherto unexplored method for the experimental determination of the photon strength function up to the neutron separation energy was developed at the Radiation Source ELBE in Dresden. It was applied to various heavy nuclei,…

Superscaling analyses of inclusive electron scattering from nuclei are extended from the quasielastic processes to the delta excitation region. The calculations of $(e,e^\prime)$ cross sections for the target nucleus $^{12}$C at various…

A nonlocal dispersive-optical-model analysis has been carried out for neutrons and protons in $^{208}$Pb. Elastic-scattering angular distributions, total and reaction cross sections, single-particle energies, the neutron and proton numbers,…

Although uncertainty quantification has been making its way into nuclear theory, these methods have yet to be explored in the context of reaction theory. For example, it is well known that different parameterizations of the optical…
