Abstract

To describe deuteron-nucleus scattering accurately at high energies, one has to correct the approximation that the potential which acts on the deuteron is the sum of the neutron and proton optical potentials. This correction is largely due to nuclear correlations and presents a method of determining the correction to the nucleon optical potential due to correlations. The method is applied to 650-MeV deuteron-carbon scattering. Good agreement is found between theory and experiment.
