EFFECTS OF SHORT-RANGE CORRELATIONS ON CA ISOTOPES

The effect of short-range correlations (SRC) on Ca isotopes is studied using a simple phenomenological model. Theoretical expressions for th e charge (proton) form factors, densities, and moments of Ca nuclei ar e derived. The role of SRC in reproducing the empirical data for the c harge density differences is examined. Their influence on the depletio n of the nuclear Fermi surface is studied and the fractional occupatio n probabilities of the shell model orbits of Ca nuclei are calculated. The variation of SRC as function of the mass number is also discussed .
