Photoproduction of light vector mesons in Xe–Xe ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC and the nuclear density of Xe-129
2018
We make predictions for cross sections of $\rho$ and $\phi$ vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.44$ TeV. Analyzing the momentum transfer distribution of $\rho$ mesons in this process, we explore the feasibility of extracting the nuclear density of $^{129}$Xe, which is needed in searches for dark matter with Xenon-based detectors.
Light baryons and their electromagnetic interactions in the covariant constituent quark model
2012
We extend the confined covariant constituent quark model that was previously developed by us for mesons to the baryon sector. In our numerical calculation we use the same values for the constituent quark masses and the infrared cutoff as have been previously used in the meson sector. In a first application we describe the static properties of the proton and neutron, and the $\Lambda$-hyperon (magnetic moments and charge radii) and the behavior of the nucleon form factors at low momentum transfers. We discuss in some detail the conservation of gauge invariance of the electromagnetic transition matrix elements in the presence of a nonlocal coupling of the baryons to the three constituent quar…
Neutrino-nucleus quasi-elastic and 2p2h interactions up to 10 GeV
2013
We extend to 10 GeV results from a microscopic calculation of charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions that do not produce a pion in the final state. For the class of events coming from neutrino interactions with two nucleons producing two holes (2p2h), limiting the calculation to three-momentum transfers less than 1.2 GeV produces a two-dimensional distribution in momentum and energy transfer that is roughly constant as a function of energy. The cross section for 2p2h interactions approximately scales with the number of nucleons for isoscalar nuclei, similar to the quasi-elastic cross section. When limited to momentum transfers below 1.2 GeV, the cross section is 26% of the quasi-elastic…
Effects of spin-orbit interaction on nuclear response and neutrino mean free path
2006
PTH; The effects of the spin-orbit component of the particle-hole interaction on nuclear response functions and neutrino mean free path are examined. A complete treatment of the full Skyrme interaction in the case of symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter is given. Numerical results for neutron matter are discussed. It is shown that the effects of the spin-orbit interaction remain small, even at momentum transfer larger than the Fermi momentum. The neutrino mean free paths are marginally affected.

Further Theoretical Analysis on the $K^{-} {}^{3} \text{He} \to \Lambda p n$ Reaction for the $\bar{K} N N$ Bound-State Search in the J-PARC E15 Expe…
2019
Based on the scenario that a $\bar{K} N N$ bound state is generated and it eventually decays into $\Lambda p$, we calculate the cross section of the $K^{-} {}^{3} \text{He} \to \Lambda p n$ reaction, which was recently measured in the J-PARC E15 experiment. We find that the behavior of the calculated differential cross section $d ^{2} \sigma / d M_{\Lambda p} d q_{\Lambda p}$, where $M_{\Lambda p}$ and $q_{\Lambda p}$ are the $\Lambda p$ invariant mass and momentum transfer in the $(K^{-} , \, n)$ reaction in the laboratory frame, respectively, is consistent with the experiment. Furthermore, we can reproduce almost quantitatively the experimental data of the $\Lambda p$ invariant mass spect…
Deuteron electrodisintegration near threshold at high momentum transfer
1983
Electrodisintegration of the deuteron near the break-up threshold is a particularly striking example of the existence of exchange currents (EC). While the conventional one-body current contribution grossly underestimates the experimental cross-section up to a momentum transfer of aboutq μ 2 =15 fm−2, the inclusion of EC—dominantly π-MEC—leads to a drastic increase in satisfactory agreement with experimental data up toq 2=9 fm−2.
Direct decay of the giant dipole resonance in58,60Ni and64Zn from (e, � c) experiments
1988
(e,e'c) coincidence experiments at a momentum transfer of q=0.27 fm−1 to study the decay of the giant dipole resonance in58,60Ni and64Zn show deviations from photonuclear results and reveal strong contributions of direct decay to proton hole states.
Untersuchung der beiden ersten angeregten Zustände des Li6-Kernes durch Elektronenstreuung
1969
Inelastic electron cross sections for Li6 were measured using the facilities at the 300 MeV linear accelerator of the Institut fur Kernphysik in Mainz. The form factor for theC 2 transition to the 2.184 MeV level is given in the region of momentum transfer 0.4 fm−1<q<1.9 fm−1. It was possible to determine the form factor for the 3.562 MeVM 1 transition up toq=1.2 fm−1.
Determination of the neutron electric form factor from the reaction 3 He(e,e'n) at medium momentum transfer
1999
The electric form factor of the neutron GEn has been determined in double polarized exclusive 3He(e,e'n) scattering in quasi–elastic kinematics by measuring asymmetries A⊥, A∥ of the cross section with respect to helicity reversal of the electron, with the nuclear spin being oriented perpendicular to the momentum transfer q in case of A⊥ and parallel in case of A∥. The experiment was performed at the 855 MeV c. w. microtron MAMI at Mainz. The degree of polarization of the electron beam and of the gaseous 3He target were each about 50%. Scattered electrons and neutrons were detected in coincidence by detector arrays covering large solid angles. Quasi–elastic scattering events were reconstruc…
