Abstract: (Elsevier)
The general expression of the nucleon-nucleus optical potential has been obtained using Watson's multiple scattering theory and Wolfenstein's parametrization of the nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitude. The resulting theoretical potential is nonlocal and consists of an energy-independent central volume plus surface real and imaginary potential and of a Thomas-like spin-orbit term. The analysis has been restricted to N = Z spherical nuclei, so that neither isospin-isospin nor spin-spin interactions have been included. The widely used Perey-Buck, Greenlees, and Watson expressions of the optical potential are easily obtained as particular cases. For practical purposes, the nonlocal potential has been parametrized in the Frahn-Lemmer form, using Woods-Saxon radial form factors, and the equivalent local potential (ELP) has been calculated by a Perey-Buck-like transformation.
