Abstract
There now exists a practical method (IP) for the routine inversion of -matrix elements to produce the corresponding potential. It can be applied to spin-1/2 and spin-1 projectiles. We survey the ways that IP inversion can be applied in nuclear physics by inverting derived from theory or from experiment. The IP inversion method can be extended to invert over a range of energies to produce a potential . It also yields parity-dependent potentials between pairs of light nuclei and can be convoluted with a direct search on the -matrix to produce `direct data inversion'. The last is an economical alternative form of optical model search to fit many observables (e.g. for polarized deuterons) for many energies, producing an energy-dependent potential with many parameters (e.g. for deuterons).
