Description
Optical potentials, or nucleon self-energies, can be determined using a nonlocal dispersive optical model (DOM). By enforcing the dispersion relation connecting the real and imaginary part of the self-energy, both experimental scattering data and nuclear structure data are used to constrain these self-energies. The ability to simultaneously calculate both bound and scattering states positions these self-energies to consistently describe complex reactions. In this talk, I will discuss how DOM predictions of bound-state properties like neutron skins, spectroscopic factors, and high momentum content can be informed by scattering observables like total inelastic cross sections and exclusive knockout cross sections.
