Ab initio Folding Potentials for Proton-Nucleus Scattering with NCSM Nonlocal One-Body Densities

Abstract

Based on the spectator expansion of the multiple scattering series we employ a nonlocal translationally invariant nuclear density derived from a chiral next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and the very same interaction for consistent full-folding calculations of the effective (optical) potential for nucleon-nucleus scattering for light nuclei.
