Abstract

Several modifications of the compound-nucleus theory are presented by employing the formalism of Kapur and Peierls. In the explanation for giant resonances in the extreme compound-nucleus picture, a complex well is used to represent the nucleus. The predictions of the compoundnucleus model, supplemented by statistical assumptions, are used to explain the inelastic scattering of nucleons by complex nuclei and the giant dipole photoeffect. From an exact description in terms of nuclear-dispersion theory a unified description of the above phenomena is given. The scattering amplitude is separated into terms corresponding to direct interactions and compound-nucleus processes.
