General Multipole Expansion of Polarization Observables in Deuteron Electrodisintegration

2002

Formal expressions are derived for the multipole expansion of the structure functions of a general polarization observable of exclusive electrodisintegration of the deuteron using a longitudinally polarized beam and/or an oriented target. This allows one to exhibit explicitly the angular dependence of the structure functions by expanding them in terms of the small rotation matrices $d^j_{m'm}(\theta)$, whose coefficients are given in terms of the electromagnetic multipole matrix elements. Furthermore, explicit expressions for the coefficients of the angular distributions of the differential cross section including multipoles up to $L_{max}=3$ are listed in tabular form.

Ab initio calculation of Li7 photodisintegration

2004

The Li7 total photoabsorption cross section is calculated microscopically. As nucleon-nucleon interaction the semi-realistic central AV4' potential with S- and P-wave forces is taken. The interaction of the final 7-nucleon system is fully taken into account via the Lorentz Integral Transform (LIT) method. For the calculation of the LIT we use expansions in hyperspherical harmonics (HH) in conjunction with the HH effective interaction (EIHH) approach. The convergence of the LIT expansion is discussed in detail. The calculated cross section agrees quite well with the available experimental data, which cover an energy range from threshold up to 100 MeV.

General formulae for polarization observables in deuteron electrodisintegration and linear relations

1993

Formal expressions are derived for all possible polarization observables in deuteron electrodisintegration with longitudinally polarized incoming electrons, oriented deuteron targets and polarization analysis of outgoing nucleons. They are given in terms of general structure functions which can be determined experimentally. These structure functions are Hermitean forms of theT-matrix elements which, in principle, allow the determination of allT-matrix elements up to an arbitrary common phase. Since the set of structure functions is overcomplete, linear relations among various structure functions exist which are derived explicitly.

Photon Scattering with the Lorentz Integral Transform Method

2011

The application of the Lorentz integral transform (LIT) method to photon scattering off nuclei is presented in general. As an example, elastic photon scattering off the deuteron in the unretarded dipole approximation is considered using the LIT method. The inversion of the integral transform is discussed in detail paying particular attention to the high-energy contributions in the resonance term. The obtained E1-polarizabilities are compared to results from the literature. The corresponding theoretical cross section is confronted with experimental results confirming, as already known from previous studies, that the E1-contribution is the most important one at lower energies.

Exclusive deuteron electrodisintegration with polarized electrons and a polarized target

1992

Exclusive electrodisintegration of the deuteron using a polarized beam and an oriented target is systematically investigated in a nonrelativistic framework. The structure functions are expanded in terms of Legendre functions whose coefficients are quadratic forms in the electric and magnetic multipole moments. Their experimental separation by specific experimental settings is outlined. The structure functions are studied with respect to their sensitivity to the potential model, to subnuclear degrees of freedom, and to electromagnetic form factors in different kinematical regions.

Tensor Analyzing Powers for Quasi-Elastic Electron Scattering from Deuterium

1999

We report on a first measurement of tensor analyzing powers in quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering at an average three-momentum transfer of 1.7 fm$^{-1}$. Data sensitive to the spin-dependent nucleon density in the deuteron were obtained for missing momenta up to 150 MeV/$c$ with a tensor polarized $^2$H target internal to an electron storage ring. The data are well described by a calculation that includes the effects of final-state interaction, meson-exchange and isobar currents, and leading-order relativistic contributions.

Nucleon polarization in exclusive deuteron electrodisintegration with polarized electrons and a polarized target

1995

Nucleon polarization in exclusive electrodisintegration of the deuteron using a polarized beam and an oriented target is systematically investigated in a nonrelativistic framework but with lowest order relativistic contributions to the one-body current including the kinematic part of the wave function boost. The structure functions and the asymmetries corresponding to the various nucleon polarization components are studied with respect to their sensitivity to the potential model, to subnuclear degrees of freedom, and to relativistic effects in different kinematical regions. Furthermore, a few new observables are found which are very sensitive to the neutron electric form factor ${\mathit{G}…

Polarization Observables in Deuteron Electrodisintegration

1992

The electrodisintegration of the deuteron with polarized beam and target is investigated. The additional polarization form factors (inclusive reaction) and structure functions (exclusive reaction) are discussed. The sensitivity of these form factors and structure functions to the potential model, to meson and isobar degrees of freedom, and to electromagnetic form factors is studied in different kinematical regions.

Bonn potential and electron-deuteron scattering at high momentum transfer

1990

Deuteron electrodisintegration d(e,e') near threshold is calculated using the various energy-independent Bonn potential versions. At high momentum transfer they lead to rather different results compared to other realistic NN potentials. This can only be partly explained by a different D-state admixture strength. The potential effect is particularly strong for the transverse form factor, but is also present for the longitudinal one. The latter is influenced in a similar way as the longitudinal part of the elastic deuteron form factor A(${\mathit{q}}^{2}$) which we have considered in addition.

Electron elastic scattering off a Tensor-polarized Deuterium Internal Target

2019

The tensor analyzing power Γ20 in elastic electron-deuteron scattering has been measured in the four momentum transfer region between 1.4 and 3.2 fm~l using the Internal Target Facility at NIKHEF. Tensor-polarized deuterium is produced in an Atomic Beam Source and injected into a storage cell. Scattered electrons and recoil deuterons were detected in coincidence with two large acceptance nonmagnetic detectors.

Inclusive electron scattering off 4He

2007

Inclusive electron scattering off 4He is investigated for low and medium energy and momentum transfers. The final state interaction, given by the simple semirealistic Malfliet-Tjon potential, is treated rigorously applying the Lorentz Integral Transform (LIT) method. Besides the nonrelativistic one-body current a consistent meson exchange current is constructed and implemented. Results are presented for both longitudinal and transverse response functions at various momentum transfers. Good agreement with experimental data is found for the longitudinal response function, while some strength is missing in the transverse response function on the low-energy side of the quasi-elastic peak.
