title: Nuclear absorption cross sections using medium modified nucleon-nucleon amplitudes.
abstract: We extract the in-medium nucleon-nucleon amplitudes from the available proton-nucleus total reaction cross sections data. The retrieval of the information from the experiment makes these estimates very reliable. Simple expressions are then given for the in-medium nucleon-nucleon amplitudes for any system of colliding nuclei as a function of energy. Excellent agreement is demonstrated in ion-nucleus absorption cross sections.
