A new realistic many-body approach for the description of high-energy   scattering processes off complex nuclei
  A linked cluster expansion for the calculation of ground state observables of nuclei with realistic interactions has been developed. Using the V8' potential the ground state energy, density and momentum distribution of complex nuclei have been calculated and found to be in good agreement with the results obtained within the Fermi Hyper Netted Chain, and Variational Monte Carlo approaches. Using the same cluster expansion, with wave function and correlations parameters fixed from the calculation of the ground-state observables, various high energy scattering processes off complex nuclei have been calculated taking final state interaction effects into account by means of the Glauber multiple scattering series.
