Three measures of the information content of a probability distribution are briefly reviewed. They are applied to fractional occupation probabilities in light nuclei, taking into account short-range correlations. The effect of short-range correlations is to increase the information entropy (or disorder) of nuclei, comparing with the independent particle model. It is also indicated that the information entropy can serve as a sensitive index of order and short-range correlations in nuclei. It is concluded that increasing Z, the information entropy increases, i.e. the disorder of the nucleus increases for all measures of information considered in the present work.

Investigation of the Rb I absorption spectrum between 40 and 120 Å has revealed a broad absorption maximum in the 3d photoionization continuum, as well as discrete features associated with the excitation of a 3d-subshell electron. The discrete structure is identified, Hartree-Fock calculations of the transition energies are given and the absorption maximum is discussed in relation to similar spectra and to recent random phase approximation with exchange (r.p.a.e.) and independent particle model calculations.

Electron momentum spectroscopy of atoms, molecules, and solids is based on (e,2e) reactions that observe the distribution of recoil momenta for energy-resolved states of the residual system. It is interpreted simply in terms of the momentum-space orbitals of the independent-particle model. The relevant ideas originated in nuclear physics. The earliest experiments observed that strongly excited final states belong to orbital manifolds that extend the independent-particle ideas to correlated systems. Some weakly excited final states do not belong to orbital manifolds. They give sensitive information about target ground-state correlations. The energy-momentum distribution of valence bands is observed for solids. Calculations for atoms, molecules, and crystals converge to the experimental result as the structure calculation is improved.
