Abstract:
This article summarises recent work on the semiclassical (Thomas-Fermi like) treatment of nuclear correlations and dynamical problems. After a short outline of the general technique the nucleon-nucleus optical potential in the doorway approximation (2p-1h and 2h-1p intermediate states) is treated. The imaginary part serves to calculate the energy dependent correction to the real part. The level density parameter, occupation numbers, and the mean free path are discussed. The semiclassical treatment of the nuclear response function is given in detail. Applications to inelastic electron scattering in the quasi-elastic peak region are presented. Analogously, inelastic proton scattering is calculated. Because of the surface absorption this reaction excites the surface response. The imaginary part of the single-particle (hole) potential in the evaluation of the response function introduces a 2p-2h spreading. The missing charge in the longitudinal response is reduced but not all experimental puzzles can be explained. The experience gained in the description of phenomena close to equilibrium serves to construct solutions of the Landau-Vlasov (alias Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck) equation for the description of non-equilibrium processes encountered in heavy ion reactions.
