-The new aspect is that with a modification of the conventional path integral scheme, it is possible to express not only quantities in real space (**R**-space), but also momentum densities. A complete derivation of this modified path integral formalism would exceed the space available here, but it can be shown that the momentum density of a nucleus i can be expressed as:
