Influence of Coulomb distortion on polarization observables in elastic electromagnetic lepton hadron scattering at low energies
2011
The formal expression for the most general polarization observable in elastic electromagnetic lepton hadron scattering at low energies is derived for the nonrelativistic regime. For the explicit evaluation the influence of Coulomb distortion on various polarization observables is calculated in a distorted wave Born approximation. Besides the hyperfine interaction also the spin-orbit interactions of lepton and hadron are included. For like charges the Coulomb repulsion reduces strongly the size of polarization observables compared to the plane wave Born approximation whereas for opposite charges the Coulomb attraction leads to a substantial increase of these observables for hadron lab kineti…
A model study on the nuclear photoeffect
1977
In a simple model of a spinless particle moving in a finite square well potential influences of final state Born approximation and of various approximations in the electromagnetic operators on photoabsorption differential, total and integrated cross sections are investigated. While the Born approximation is very poor in all respects, the long wave length approximation turns out to be the best and reproduces the total cross section quite well. However, appreciable deviations occur in the differential cross section at intermediate energies. The integrated cross section slightly exceeds the classical sum rule resulting from nonanalyticity of the forward compton scattering amplitude, as is disc…
Final State Interaction Effects in 3He(e ,e'p)
2003
Abstract Asymmetries in quasi-elastic 3 He ( e → , e ′ p ) have been measured at a momentum transfer of 0.67 (GeV/ c ) 2 and are compared to a calculation which takes into account relativistic kinematics in the final state and a relativistic one-body current operator. With an exact solution of the Faddeev equation for the 3 He -ground state and an approximate treatment of final state interactions in the continuum good agreement is found with the experimental data.
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.
Spin instabilities of infinite nuclear matter and effective tensor interactions
2013
We study the effects of the tensor force, present in modern effective nucleon-nucleon interactions, in the spin instability of nuclear and neutron matter. Stability conditions of the system against certain very low energy excitation modes are expressed in terms of Landau parameters. It is shown that in the spin case, the stability conditions are equivalent to the condition derived from the spin susceptibility, which is obtained as the zero-frequency and long-wavelength limit of the spin response function calculated in the random phase approximation. Zero-range forces of the Skyrme type and finite-range forces of M3Y and Gogny type are analyzed. It is shown that for the Skyrme forces conside…
On the (ΔΔ)-component of the deuteron
1974
Abstract The (ΔΔ)-component of the deuteron is investigated using π- and ϱ-exchange for the (NN → ΔΔ)-transition interaction. The depedence of the strength of the (ΔΔ)-component on thetype of regularization, the cut-off parameter and the normal deuteron wave functions is discussed. Inclusion of the ϱ-exchange leads to a weaker dependence on the cut-off parameter and to a smaller (ΔΔ)-admixture probability of 0.7 to 1.2 percent depending on the normal deuteron wave function for a cut-off parameter Λ = 5 fm−1.
Magnetic moment of the S11 (1535) resonance
2003
Abstract The γ p a γη p reaction in the S 11 (1535) resonance region is investigated as a method to access the S 11 (1535) magnetic dipole moment. To study the feasibility, we perform calculations of the γ p → γη p process within an effective Lagrangian approach containing both the S 11 resonant mecanism and a background of non-resonant contributions. Predictions are made for the forthcoming experiments. In particular, we focus on the sensitivity of cross sections and photon asymmetries to the S 11 (1535) magnetic dipole moment.
High temperature giant dipole and isoscalar resonances
1990
We present a systematic study of the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) at high temperatures (T≧4 MeV) in the framework of a semiclassical approximation that uses them1 andm3 RPA sum rules to estimate the GDR mean energy. We focus on the evolution withT of the collective nature of the GDR and of theL=0, 2, 3 and 4 isoscalar resonances. We find that the GDR remains particularly collective at highT, suggesting that it might be possible to observe it experimentally even at temperatures close to the maximum one a nucleus can sustain.
Multiparticle correlations in the Schwinger mechanism
2009
We discuss the Schwinger mechanism in scalar QED and derive the multiplicity distribution of particles created under an external electric field using the LSZ reduction formula. Assuming that the electric field is spatially homogeneous, we find that the particles of different momenta are produced independently, and that the multiplicity distribution in one mode follows a Bose-Einstein distribution. We confirm the consistency of our results with an intuitive derivation by means of the Bogoliubov transformation on creation and annihilation operators. Finally we revisit a known solvable example of time-dependent electric fields to present exact and explicit expressions for demonstration.
Electromagnetic transition form factors of the Roper resonance in a phenomenological field theory
2014
We analyze the form factors of the electromagnetic nucleon-to-Roper-resonance transition in the framework of a low-energy phenomenological field theory. A systematic power-counting procedure is generated by applying the complex-mass scheme. Within this power counting we calculate the form factors to next-to-next-to-leading order and fit the results to empirical data.
