Bound single-particle states and scattering of nucleons on spherical nuclei with a global optical model

Abstract

We present a global spherical optical model for nucleons with incident energies up to 200 MeV containing dispersive terms and a local energy approximation. This optical model was built from our previous neutron optical model and is able to reproduce scattering data as well as bound single-particle states for neutrons and protons. However, for the scattering of protons, the situation is not as satisfactory as for neutrons.
