Using the Green-function approach the calculations are performed directly for the finite nucleus $^{16}$O avoiding the local density approximation and its reference to studies of infinite nuclear matter. 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 as compared to the Hartree-Fock description. 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. Our analysis also demonstrates that non-negligible contributions to the momentum distribution should be found in partial waves which are unoccupied in the simple shell-model. The treatment of correlations beyond the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation also yields an improvement for the calculated ground-state properties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-11-08T10:22:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "short-range correlations", "energy distribution", "finite nucleus", "momentum distribution", "nucleon knockout reactions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
