Abstract
The implication of a simple two-kernel form of nonlocal potential is considered in the nuclear matter approximation. It is shown that this leads to a wave equation with a complex reduced mass. The parameters characterizing the real part of the optical potential are found to be in reasonable accord with expectations from two-body forces. The parameters associated with the imaginary part are handled only phenomenologically. A description is found which works quite well in the energy range 0 to 25 Mev. The results of this study compares favorably with the corresponding results of an investigation with a nonlocal model for finite nuclei.
