Meson Exchange Currents in Kaon Scattering on the Lightest Nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
The K + scattering on the lightest nuclei, d, 3 He and 4 He is studied in the framework of multiple scattering theory. Effects from MEC tied to the K + N → KN π reaction are evaluated. We found that at momentum transfers Q 2 < 0.5 (GeV/c) 2 contributions from MEC are much smaller than kaon rescattering corrections. This makes the conventional multiple scattering picture a reliable tool to study these reactions in this kinematical domain and to extract the K + n scattering amplitude from the K + d data. At larger transferred momentum MEC can become more relevant.

Kn Scattering and the Nucleon Strangeness Radius Typeset Using Revt E X
The leading non-zero electric moment of the nucleon strange-quark vector current is the mean square strangeness radius, r 2 s. We evaluate the lightest OZI-allowed contribution to r 2 s , arising from the kaon cloud, using dispersion relations. Drawing upon unitarity constraints as well as K + N scattering and e + e − → K ¯ K cross section data, we find the structure of this contribution differ...
متن کاملGauge and Lorentz invariant one - pion exchange currents in electron scattering from a relativistic Fermi gas
A consistent analysis of relativistic pionic correlations and meson-exchange currents for electroweak quasielastic electron scattering from nuclei is carried out. Fully-relativistic one-pion-exchange electromagnetic operators are developed for use in one-particle emission electronuclear reactions within the context of the relativistic Fermi gas model. Then the exchange and pionic correlation cu...
متن کاملStrangeness-changing response functions: an alternative approach to hypernuclear structure
We study strangeness-changing response functions as an alternative description of hypernuclear structure. Hypernuclear states are treated in the same manner as any other conventional nuclear excitation that emerges from the response of the nuclear ground state to an external probe. The nuclear response is calculated using a random-phase approximation to an effective relativistic mean-field mode...
متن کاملMeson-exchange currents and quasielastic antineutrino cross sections in the superscaling approximation.
We evaluate quasielastic double-differential antineutrino cross sections obtained in a phenomenological model based on the superscaling behavior of electron scattering data and estimate the contribution of the vector meson-exchange currents in the two-particle-two-hole sector. We show that the impact of meson-exchange currents for charge-changing antineutrino reactions is much larger than in th...

We investigate the exclusive proton{induced K + production near the kaon threshold. Compared are two models: a meson{exchange model, which includes ; ; K and K exchange, together with the dominant baryon resonances, and a quark{gluon model, where momentum sharing is provided via the exchange of two gluons. Based on covariant bound state wave functions for the meson and the baryons | which we tr...
