Abstract

The properties of nucleons in the nuclear medium at normal density are studied including the effects of short-range and tensor correlations induced by the realistic Reid soft-core interaction. A complete characterization of the energy dependence of the self-energy and the nucleon spectral functions is obtained. These results clarify the limitations of the mean-field picture of nucleon motion in matter and provide an explanation of a number of problems associated with theoretical calculations in nuclear physics which assume the validity of the mean-field picture.
