Relativistic multipole operators for semileptonic weak and electromagnetic nuclear reactions.

1989

We discuss multipole operators that arise in a relativistic analysis ofsemileptonic weak and electromagnetic interactions with nuclei. Thesesingle-particle operators are evaluated between relativistic nucleon boundstates that are solutions to the Dirac equation with potentials of the formproduced by the sigma-..omega.. model. The reduced matrix elements aregiven in terms of easily programmable radial integrals and can be applied to anumber of reactions such as elastic and inelastic electron scattering, realphoton processes, ..beta.. decay, and charged lepton capture as well as moreexotic interactions such as charged and neutral current neutrino reactions. Asa specific example, we calculate …
