Ab initio-guided optical potentials for semi-magic nuclei from Gorkov self-consistent Green's functions

We construct ab initio-guided nonlocal optical potentials for semi-magic nuclei from the self-consistent Gorkov-ADC(2) one-body Green's function. This extends ab initio self-consistent Green's function approaches to open-shell targets and to proton projectiles. The starting point is the NNLO$_{\rm s
