Open Problems in Applying Random-Matrix Theory to Nuclear Reactions

Nuclear Theory 2015-06-18 v1

Abstract

Problems in applying random-matrix theory (RMT) to nuclear reactions arise in two domains. To justify the approach, statistical properties of isolated resonances observed experimentally must agree with RMT predictions. That agreement is less striking than would be desirable. In the implementation of the approach, the range of theoretically predicted observables is too narrow.
