Abstract
A simple unitarity relation is derived for the elastic projectile-nucleus scattering amplitude. This result provides an alternative interpretation and justification for the ordinary distorted wave impulse approximation, and thus may serve to correct a misapprehension concerning this approximation which might erroneously be obtained from recent trends in the literature.Keywords
