Rearrangement Effects and the Parametrization of the Effective Field in Nuclei

Abstract

A simple parametrization of the nonlocal effective field in nuclei is provided. The parameters as determined by fitting the properties of nuclear matter are quite similar to those which have been shown to yield good results for the size and binding energies of finite nuclei throughout the periodic table. It is shown that the self-consistent single-particle energies are significantly different from the separation energies (rearrangement effect) and consequences for structure calculations and particle knock-out experiments are discussed.
