Three-Nucleon Electroweak Capture Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in the study of the p−d radiative and μ−3He weak capture processes are presented and discussed. The three-nucleon bound and scattering states are obtained using the correlated-hyperspherical-harmonics method, with realistic Hamiltonians consisting of the Argonne v14 or Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Tucson-Melbourne or Urbana IX three-nucleon interactions. The electromagnetic and weak transition operators include oneand two-body contributions. The theoretical accuracy achieved in these calculations allows for interesting comparisons with experimental data.

Modern theories of low-energy astrophysical reactions
We summarize recent ab initio studies of low-energy electroweak reactions of astrophysical interest, relevant for both big bang nucleosynthesis and solar neutrino production. The calculational methods include direct integration for np radiative and pp weak capture, correlated hyperspherical harmonics for reactions of A = 3, 4 nuclei, and variational Monte Carlo for A = 6, 7 nuclei. Realistic nu...
متن کاملNuclear Muon Capture in Hydrogen and its Interplay with Muon Atomic Physics
The singlet capture rate ΛS for the semileptonic weak process μ+ p → n+ νμ has been measured in the MuCap experiment [2]. The novel experimental technique is based on stopping muons in an active target, consisting of a time projection chamber operating with ultra-pure hydrogen. This allows the unambiguous determination of the pseudoscalar form factor gP of the charged electroweak current of the...
متن کاملSevenOperators, a Mathematica script for harmonic oscillator nuclear matrix elements arising in semileptonic electroweak interactions
Semi-leptonic electroweak interactions in nuclei – such as β decay, μ capture, chargedand neutralcurrent neutrino reactions, and electron scattering – are described by a set of multipole operators carrying definite parity and angular momentum, obtained by projection from the underlying nuclear charge and three-current operators. If these nuclear operators are approximated by their one-body form...

متن کاملTrinucleon Photo Reactions with ∆-Isobar Excitation: Radiative Nucleon-Deuteron Capture and Two-Body Photo Disintegration of the Three-Nucleon Bound State
Radiative nucleon-deuteron capture and photo disintegration of the three-nucleon bound state with two-body final states are described. The description uses nucleon degrees of freedom extended to include the excitation of a single nucleon to a ∆-isobar. The baryonic interaction and the electromagnetic current couple nucleonic states and states with a ∆-isobar. Exact solutions of three-particle s...
