Abstract

The theory of the treatment of particle hole states in the continuum is reviewed with emphasis on the eigenchannel method. The results of actual calculations are compared with experimental data. Some aspects of the experiments are rather well reproduced by the calculations. However, in certain other aspects a qualitative disagreement exists between theory and experiment, pointing to an essential inadequacy of the underlying nuclear model.
