Summary
The author analizes the independent particle model of the nucleus in its definition as an approximation toweek incoherent interaction and its applicability to general problems of low energy nuclear mechanics. In zero approximation, defined. by a condition of self consistency, the potential wells which determine the states of the single nucleons in the nucleus have a mean depth of the order of twice the mean potential energy per nucleon. It results, for instance, that direct emission and evaporation processes of nucleons have different thresholds. It is emphasized that the optical model for nuclear reactions can be directly derived from the model considered.
