A brief overview of various approaches to the optical-model description of nuclei is
presented. A survey of some of the formal aspects is given which links the Feshbach …

A review of recent developments of the dispersive optical model (DOM) is presented.
Starting from the original work of Mahaux and Sartor, several necessary steps are …

We derive ab initio optical potentials from self-consistent Green's function theory and
compute the elastic scattering of neutrons off oxygen and calcium isotopes. The comparison …

Simulations of scattering processes are essential in understanding the physics of our
universe. Computing relevant scattering quantities from ab initio methods is extremely …

Background: The nuclear optical potential is a successful tool for the study of nucleon-
nucleus elastic scattering and its use has been further extended to inelastic scattering and …

Background: In recent years, we constructed a microscopic optical potential (OP) for elastic
nucleon-nucleus (NA) scattering using modern approaches based on chiral theories for the …

Background: In a previous series of papers we investigated the domain of applicability of
chiral potentials to the construction of a microscopic optical potential (OP) for elastic nucleon …

We formulate microscopic optical potentials for nucleon-nucleus scattering from chiral two-
and three-nucleon forces. The real and imaginary central terms of the optical potentials are …

In this work, we apply relativistic impulse approximation (RIA) with a modern density
functional PC-PK1 to systematically analyze the available experimental data at 40< E p≤ …

Three-nucleon (3N) forces are an indispensable ingredient for accurate few-body and many-
body nuclear structure and reaction theory calculations. While the direct implementation of …
