Nuclear many-body theory provides the foundation for understanding
and exploiting the new generation of experimental probes of nuclear
structure that are now becoming available. The twentieth volume of
Advances in Nuclear Physics is thus devoted to two major
theoretical chapters addressing two fundamental issues:
understanding single-particle properties in nuclei and the
consistent formulation of a relativistic theory appropriate for
hadronic physics. The long-standing problem of understanding
single-particle behavior in a strongly interacting nuclear system
takes on new urgency and sig nificance in the face of detailed
measurements of the nuclear spectral function in (e, e'p)
experiments. In the first chapter, Mahaux and Sartor confront
head-on the ambiguities in defining single-particle properties and
the limitations in calculating them microscopically. This
thoughtful chapter provides a thorough, pedagogical review of the
relevant aspects of many body theory and of previous treatments in
the nuclear physics literature. It also presents the author's own
vision of how to properly formulate and understand single-particle
behavior based on the self-energy, or mass operator. Their approach
provides a powerful, unified description of the nuclear mean field
that covers negative as well as positive energies and consistently
fills in that information that cannot yet be calculated reliably
microscopically by a theoretically motivated phenomenology.
Particular emphasis is placed upon experiment, both in the
exhaustive comparisons with experimental data and in the detailed
discussion of the relations of each of the theoretical quantities
defined in the chapter to physical observables."
