SHORT-RANGE CORRELATIONS AND ONE-BODY PROPERTIES OF NUCLEI

We present analytical and numerical results concerning one-body s-d sh ell nuclear characteristics within the low-order approximation to the one-body density matrix for a Jastrow groundstate wave function. The c orrelation effects on the nucleon momentum and density distributions a s well as the occupation numbers and the depletion of the Fermi sea ar e discussed. It is estimated that the use of the low-order approximati on leads to a violation of the A-representability condition for the on e-body density matrix. The closed analytical expressions obtained for the one-body nuclear characteristics can be used in analyzing the shor t-range correlation effects observed in the measured experimental data .
