Abstract

First calculations based on an impulse-approximation Dirac optical potential are presented. All input parameters are constrained by other experimentally determined quantities. Excellent agreement with

T_{p} = 500

MeV

p_{pol}

{}^{16}O

and

{}^{40}{Ca}

elastic scattering data is demonstrated. The differences between the relativistic and nonrelativistic results are explored in detail.
