Higher-order calculations of electron-deuteron scattering in nuclear effective theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Motivated by recent advances in the application of effective field theory techniques to light nuclei we revisit the problem of electron-deuteron scattering in these approaches. By sidestepping problems with the description of electron-nucleon scattering data in effective field theories, we show that the effective theory expansion for deuteron physics converges well over a wide range of momentum transfers. The resultant description of the physics of the two-nucleon system is good up to virtual photon momenta of order 700 MeV. PACS nos.: 12.39.Fe, 25.30.Bf, 21.45.+v

Elastic electron–deuteron scattering in chiral effective field theory
We calculate elastic electron–deuteron scattering in a chiral effective field theory approach for few–nucleon systems based on a modified Weinberg power counting. We construct the current operators and the deuteron wave function at next-to-leading order (NLO) simultaneously within a projection formalism. The leading order comprises the impulse approximation of photons coupling to point-like nuc...
متن کاملProbing the effectiveness: Chiral perturbation theory calculations of low-energy electromagnetic reactions on deuterium
I summarize three recent calculations of electromagnetic reactions on deuterium in chiral perturbation theory. All of these calculations were carried out to O(Q4), i.e. next-to-next-to-leading order. The reactions discussed here are: elastic electron-deuteron scattering, Compton scattering on deuterium, and the photoproduction of neutral pions from deuterium at threshold.

Information obtained from nucleus as a bound system of nucleons and from nucleon-nucleon scattering experiments is a strong tool for studying various aspects of nuclear forces. Deuteron-deuteron scattering as a four-nucleon system can provide useful information. So, scattering experiment of a polarized beam of deuteron with kinetic energy of65 MeV/nucleon from a liquid-deuterium target was done...
متن کاملNeutrino-Deuteron Scattering in Effective Field Theory at Next-to-Next-to Leading Order
We study the four channels associated with neutrino-deuteron breakup reactions at next-to-next to leading order in effective field theory. We find that the total cross-section is indeed converging for neutrino energies up to 20 MeV, and thus our calculations can provide constraints on theoretical uncertainties for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. We stress the importance of a direct experiment...
متن کاملThe Anapole Form Factor of the Deuteron
We find the leading order result for the anapole form factor of the deuteron using effective field theory. The momentum dependence of the anapole form factor is different from that of the matrix element of the strange currents in the deuteron, which may provide a way for disentangling these two competing effects when analyzing parity violating electron-deuteron scattering experiments. We give c...
