Phenomenological and Theoretical Optical Potentials
The optical potential is a powerful instrument for calculations on a wide variety of nuclear reactions, in particular, for quasi-elastic lepton-nucleus scattering. Phenomenological optical potentials are successful in the description of data but may produce uncertainties in the interpretation of the results. Two recent theoretical optical potentials are presented: a global relativistic folding optical potential, that has been employed in relativistic models for quasi-elastic lepton-nucleus scattering, and a non relativistic optical potential derived from nucleon-nucleon chiral potentials at fourth order (N4LO), that has been applied to elastic proton-nucleus scattering.
