TL;DR: In this article, the real parts of the central and spin-orbit optical potential are calculated for 40 MeV protons on 40Ca, 58Ni, 120Sn and 208Pb to first order in the two-nucleon effective interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the diffraction-approxima- tion method and a modified distorted-wave code are compared, and it is found that the interaction given by the impulse approximation gives a fair fit to the elastic data and that diffraction approximation compares remarkably well with the distorted wave calculation at all but the lowest energies.

TL;DR: An improved treatment of the Pauli projection operator is proposed, and accurate solutions of the Bethe-Goldstone equation are obtained for the 16 O nucleus using the Hamada-Johnston potential as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a method suggested by Koltun of matching two-nucleon energies and wave-function logarithmic derivatives is employed to deduce nuclear matrix elements directly from the energy dependence of N-N scattering phase shifts without specifying the N -N potential function.
