Abstract

The effects of short-range correlations on the momentum and energy distribution of nucleons in finite nuclei are investigated using realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions. The calculations are performed in the framework of the Green function theory. The spectral functions are calculated from the momentum and energy dependent nucleon self-energy by solving a Dyson equation. The nucleon-nucleon correlations induced by the short-range and tensor components of the interaction yield an enhancement of the momentum distribution at high momenta. These high momentum components should be observed mainly in nucleon knockout reactions like (e, e′p) leaving the final nucleus in a state of high excitation energy.
