Neutron charge radius and the neutron electric form factor
For nearly forty years, the Galster parametrization has been employed to fit existing data for the neutron electric form factor, GnE, vs the square of the four-momentum transfer, Q 2. Typically this parametrization is constrained to be consistent with experimental data for the neutron charge radius. However, we find that the Galster form does not have sufficient freedom to accommodate reasonabl...
متن کاملMeasuring the Neutron’s Mean Square Charge Radius Using Neutron Interferometry
The neutron is electrically neutral, but its substructure consists of charged quarks so it may have an internal charge distribution. In fact it is known to have a negative mean square charge radius (MSCR), the second moment of the radial charge density. In other words the neutron has a positive core and negative skin. In the first Born approximation the neutron MSCR can be simply related to the...
متن کاملParity Violation, the Neutron Radius of Lead, and Neutron Stars
The neutron radius of a heavy nucleus is a fundamental nuclear-structure observable that remains elusive. Progress in this arena has been limited by the exclusive use of hadronic probes that are hindered by large and controversial uncertainties in the reaction mechanism. The Parity Radius Experiment at the Jefferson Laboratory offers an attractive electro-weak alternative to the hadronic progra...
متن کاملSpinors and the Dirac Equation
The Dirac equation can be derived using the relativistic relation between mass and energy E = m (normalized units) and the symmetries of the universe, so it is necessary to have a firm grasp on the latter. The relativistic symmetry group is the orthochronous Poincare group SO(1, 3) n R, though we shall mainly use just the orthochronous Lorentz group SO(1, 3). Its Lie algebra is so(1, 3). We fir...
متن کاملNeutron star structure and the neutron radius of 208Pb.
We study relationships between the neutron-rich skin of a heavy nucleus and the properties of neutron-star crusts. Relativistic effective field theories with a thicker neutron skin in 208Pb have a larger electron fraction and a lower liquid-to-solid transition density for neutron-rich matter. These properties are determined by the density dependence of the symmetry energy which we vary by addin...
