Abstract
A fast proton with a short wavelength can in principle be used as a probe of correlation in a nucleus. The optical potential describing nucleon-nucleus elastic scattering scales simply with A, the number of nucleons, reflecting the constant density of nuclear matter. A microscopic calculation of this potential can be ordered so as to start with a zeroth order theory in which correlation is ignored, the independent particle model(IPM). A correction term using the pair correlation function can then be evaluated. Comparison with experiment is then possible with and without the correlation potential, V c; hence information about the pair correlation function available from theory and experiment can be compared.
