Summary
This paper is concerned with the question whether nuclear matter should be considered as a nonlinear optical medium. Taking, in a pragmatic way, quality and quantity of the results of well-established linear and nonlinear approaches as the main criterion, an affirmative answer is seen to be consistent with long-standing practices adhered to in nuclear physics.
Riassunto
L'argomento di questo lavoro è se la materia si possa considerare un mezzo ottico non lineare. Tenendo conto in modo pragmatico della qualità e della quantità dei risultati degli approcci lineari e non lineari ben stabiliti come criterio principale, si trova che una risposta affermative è considerata con pratiche collaudate utilizzate nella fisica nucleare.
