Abstract
The mean-free path of protons is calculated in nuclear matter and in finite nuclei using the extended Skyrme interaction. The Green's function technique is employed for infinite nuclear matter to carry out the calculations analytically. The connection to finite nuclei is established and results are compared to data extracted from reaction cross sections and optical-potential fits for three closed-shell nuclei. Fixing the radius parameter as in the interpretation of the measurements leads to reasonable agreement within the accuracy of the data.
