Microscopic Optical Potentials from Chiral Forces and Ab Initio Nuclear Densities

Nuclear Theory 2023-12-27 v1

Abstract

We derived microscopic optical potentials (OPs) for elastic nucleon-nucleus scattering within the framework of chiral effective field theories at the first-order term of the spectator expansion of the Watson multiple-scattering theory and adopting the impulse approximation. Our OPs are derived by folding ab initio nuclear densities with a nucleon-nucleon NN t matrix computed with a consistent chiral interaction. The results of our OPs are in good agreement with the experimental data. Recent achievements of our work are reviewed in this contribution.
