Abstract

The effect of dynamical short-range correlations on the generalized momentum distribution in the case of Z = N, ℓ-closed shell nuclei is investigated by introducing Jastrow-type correlations in the harmonic-oscillator model. First, a low-order approximation is considered and applied to the nucleus 4He. Compact analytical expressions are derived and numerical results are presented and the effect of centre-of-mass corrections is estimated. Next, an approximation is proposed for of heavier nuclei that uses the above-correlated of 4He. Results are presented for the nucleus 16O. It is found that the effect of short-range correlations is significant for rather large values of the momenta p and/or Q and should be included, along with centre-of-mass corrections for light nuclei, in a reliable evaluation of in the whole domain of p and Q.
