Coulomb distortion effects in quasi-elastic (e,e’) scattering on heavy nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
The influence of the Coulomb distortion for quasi-elastic (e,e’) scattering on highly charged nuclei is investigated in distorted wave Born approximation for electrons. The Dirac equation is solved numerically in order to obtain exact electron continuum states in the electrostatic field generated by the charge distribution of an atomic nucleus. Different approximate models are used to describe the nucleon current in order to show that, at high electron energies and energy-momentum transfer, the influence of Coulomb distortions on (e,e’) cross sections can be reliably described by the effective momentum approximation, irrespective of details concerning the description of the nuclear current.

Recent developments in quasi-elastic scattering around the Coulomb barrier
We discuss two recent topics on heavy-ion quasi-elastic scattering at energies around the Coulomb barrier. The first topic is an application of quasi-elastic scattering at deep-subbarrier energies to extracting the surface diffuseness parameter of the nucleus-nucleus potential. The second topic is a coupled-channels analysis for the quasi-elastic barrier distribution for the 70Zn + 208Pb reacti...

We report a significant improvement of an approximate method of including electron Coulomb distortion in electron induced reactions at momentum transfers greater than the inverse of the size of the target nucleus. In particular , we have found a new parametrization for the elastic electron scattering phase shifts that works well at all electron energies greater than 300 M eV. As an illustration...
متن کاملLarge-angle scattering and quasi-elastic barrier distributions
We study in detail the barrier distributions extracted from large-angle quasi-elastic scattering of heavy ions at energies near the Coulomb barrier. Using a closed-form expression for scattering from a single barrier, we compare the quasi-elastic barrier distribution with the corresponding test function for fusion. We examine the isocentrifugal approximation in coupled-channels calculations of ...
متن کاملCOULOMB MIXING AND CORE POLARIZATION IN (p, ii) QUASI-ELASTIC SCATTERING
We describe the (p, n) quasi-elastic scattering taking into account the contributions coming from those parts of the neutron-proton density difference that arise from the Coulomb distortion of the nuclear densities and from the polarizing effect of the excess neutrons on the self-conjugate core. The model proposed is a generalization of the Lane model and of the folding model of the interaction...

The position of the quasielastic peak for (e, e) scattering off Pb extracted from a selected data set measured at Saclay is related to a heuristic theoretical description. An analysis of the data shows that the peak position can be described very accurately by a simple equation in the relevant kinematic region where a pronounced peak is observable. The simple findings result in a concluding com...
