Volume integrals of real part of nucleon optical potentials

Abstract

Volume integrals of the real part of the proton and neutron optical potentials are computed using the existing phenomenological analyses for A=10-238. These results are in good agreement with the Jeukenne-Lejeune-Mahaux model which employs Reid's hard core nucleon-nucleon interaction. An empirical expression having an isovector dependence has been used to fit the volume integrals and the isovector component of the real potential has been estimated.
