Electroweak quasielastic response functions in nuclear matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quasielastic electromagnetic and parity-violating electron scattering response functions of relativistic nuclear matter are reviewed. The roles played by the Hartree-Fock field and by nuclear correlations in the Random Phase Approximation (treated within the continued fraction scheme) are illustrated. The parity-violating responses of nuclei to polarized electrons are also revisited, stressing in particular the crucial role played by the pion in the nuclear dynamics. Finally, some issues surrounding scaling and sum rules are addressed. Content

The impact of pionic correlations and meson–exchange currents in determining the (vector) response functions for electroweak quasielastic lepton scattering from nuclei is discussed. The approach taken builds on previous work where the Fermi gas model is used to maintain consistency in treating forces and currents (gauge invariance) and to provide a Lorentz covariant framework. Results obtained ...

The parity violating longitudinal asymmetry A is calculated for quasielastic electron scattering. We use a variety of relativistic mean field models for the response of nuclear matter and 12 C at a momentum transfer of q=550 MeV/c. Relativistic effects from a reduced nucleon mass, RPA correlations and vacuum polarization can all change A by a relatively large amount. These large nuclear structu...
متن کاملRelativistic models for quasielastic (e,e') at large momentum transfers.
Inclusive quasielastic response functions are calculated for electron scattering in a relativistic model including momentum dependent scalar and vector mean fields. The momentum dependence of the mean fields is taken from Dirac optical fits to proton nucleus scattering and is important in describing data at momentum transfers of 1 GeV/c or larger. Our simple model is applicable for quasielastic...
