Global relativistic folding optical potential and the relativistic Green's function model

Optical potentials provide critical input for calculations on a wide variety of nuclear reactions, in particular,
for neutrino-nucleus reactions, which are of great interest in the light of the new neutrino oscillation experiments.
We present the global relativistic folding optical potential (GRFOP) fits to elastic proton scattering data from
12C nucleus at energies between 20 and 1040 MeV. We estimate observables, such as the differential cross
section, the analyzing power, and the spin rotation parameter, in elastic proton scattering within the relativistic
impulse approximation. The new GRFOP potential is employed within the relativistic Green’s function model
for inclusive quasielastic electron scattering and for (anti)neutrino-nucleus scattering at MiniBooNE kinematics
