We review recent progress and motivate the need for further developments in nuclear optical
potentials that are widely used in the theoretical analysis of nucleon elastic scattering and …

The effective interaction between a nucleon and a nucleus is one of the most important
ingredients for reaction theories. Theoretical formulations were introduced early by …

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: Effective interactions for nucleon-nucleus elastic scattering from first principles
require the use of the same nucleon-nucleon interaction in the structure and reaction …

Few years ago we started the investigation of microscopic Optical Potentials (OP) in the
framework of chiral effective field theories [1, 2] and published our results in a series of …

We perform a first-principles calculation of optical potentials for nucleon elastic scattering off
medium-mass isotopes. Fully based on a saturating chiral Hamiltonian, the optical potentials …

Background: Well-established coupled channel and coupled reaction channel (CRC)
processes make contributions to elastic scattering that are not included in standard folding …

In this work we extend a previously derived n-Be 9 optical potential up to 500 MeV and apply
it to the system nC 12, finding excellent results for the energy dependence of the total cross …

Nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions based on chiral effective theories are commonly used in
ab initio calculations of light nuclei. Here we present a study based on three different NN …
