Study of meson production in nuclei near threshold

2009

We present a study of the η production at low energies in pd collision with 3He and pd nuclear systems in the final state. The η production mechanism is described by a two-step model and the final state interactions are included fully. The η - d and η - 3He final state interactions are incorporated through the solution of the Lippmann Schwinger equation for a half off-shell η - AT-matrix. For η - d this t -matrix is written in a factorized form, with an off-shell form factor multiplying an on-shell part having the scattering length representation. The p - d final state interaction is included by multiplying the production matrix element by the inverse of the Jost function which includes th…

A time dependent RPA-theory for heavy ion reactions

1980

The time dependent Hartree Fock theory (TDHF) is generalized by incorporating 2p-2h correlations into the TDHF Slater determinant in order to improve the description of two-body observables. To this end a time dependent RPA theory (TDRPA) is formulated using the quasi boson approximation. The approach turns out to be readily applicable requiring only minor changes in the present time TDHF codes. The theory is exemplified by considering the spreading width of the fragment particle number in a nucleus-nucleus collision. The TDRPA states are furthermore used to formulate a scattering theory for heavy ion collisions which incorporates the quantum corrections of orderh2 by means of a gaussian pa…

Parity Violating Electron Scattering at the MAMI Facility in Mainz

2005

We report here on a new measurement of the parity violating (PV) asymmetry in the scattering of polarized electrons on unpolarized protons performed with the setup of the A4-collaboration at the MAMI accelerator facility in Mainz. This experiment is the first to use counting techniques in a parity violation experiment. The kinematics of the experiment is complementary to the earlier measurements of the SAMPLE collaboration at the MIT Bates accelerator and the HAPPEX collaboration at Jefferson Lab. After discussing the experimental context of the experiments, the setup at MAMI and preliminary results are presented.

Model independent determination of GEn from the reaction

1988

Abstract Electrodisintegration of vector polarized deuterium by longitudinally polarized electrons offers a possibility for measuring the neutron electric form factor G En . In principle, the electron asymmetry is essentially proportional to G En when quasi-free kinematics are employed. We investigate the model dependence of this result by employing several NN force models both with and without meson-exchange and isobar corrections. We find the asymmetry to be remarkably model independent near the neutron quasi-elastic peak.

Nuclear ground-state properties in a relativistic Meson-Field theory

1986

We investigate the ability of a relativistic Mean-Field theory to reproduce nuclear ground state properties by an exhaustive fit to experimental data. We find that the bulk properties of nuclei from16O to208Pb can be adjusted very well. There remain problems with level density and fluctuations in the charge density similar as in fits using the conventional Skyrme Hartree-Fock model.

Pion Exchange Current Effects in ν μ + d → μ − +p + p

1986

The effect of pion exchange currents in the process νμ + d → μ− +p + p is estimated using realistic wave functions for the deuteron and closure over the final dinucleon states. Its implications on the determination of axial vector form factor FA(q2) are discussed.

Exchange currents in the deuteron

2008

The present status of exchange currents and their contribution to deuteron disintegration by real and virtual photons is reviewed. The importance of the Siegert theorem for electric transitions is stressed. Various experiments in photoabsorption, electron and photon scattering with respect to influences of exchange currents are discussed.

Quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering and the electric form factor of the neutron

Hyperon Semileptonic Decays and CKM Unitarity

2005

We perform a new numerical analysis of hyperon semileptonic decays emphasizing the systematic uncertainties. The poor understanding of SU(3) symmetry breaking effects at second order in the vector form factor translates into a large error of |V(us)|. Using our determination |V(us)| = 0.226 +/- 0.005 together with those coming from other sources we test the unitarity of the CKM matrix.

Deuteron electrodisintegration near threshold with the Bonn potential

1987

Deuteron electrodisintegration near threshold is calculated for the Bonn potential including consistent meson exchange currents. Experimental data can fairly well be described over the whole q-range if GE is used as electromagnetic form factor for the exchange current, whereas F1 leads to a large overestimation at high q.
