Light Front Treatment of Nuclei: Formalism and Simple Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
A relativistic light front treatment of nuclei is developed by performing light front quantization for a chiral Lagrangian. The energy momentum tensor and the appropriate Hamiltonian are obtained. Three illustrations of the formalism are made. (1) Pion-nucleon scattering at tree level is shown to reproduce soft pion them-ems. (2) The one boson exchange trest ment of nucleon-nucleon scattering is developed and shown (by comparison with previous results of the equal time formulation) to lead to a reasonable description of nucleon-nucleon phase shifts. (3) The mean field approximation is applied to infinite nuclear matter, and the plus momentum distributions of that system are studied. The mesons are found to carry a significant fraction of the plus momentum, but are inaccessible to experiments.

Light Front Quantization–A Technique for Relativistic and Realistic Nuclear Physics
Applications of relativistic light front dynamics to computing the nucleonic and mesonic components of nuclear wave functions are reviewed. In this approach the fields are quantized at equal values of τ = x0 + x3. Our method is to use a Lagrangian, and its associated energy-momentum tensor T +μ to define the total momentum operators Pμ with P+ as the plus-momentum and P− the τ -development oper...
متن کاملRotational Invariance In Nuclear Light-Front Mean Field Theory
A light-front treatment for spherical nuclei is developed from a relativistic effective Lagrangian and employing the mean field approximation. Minimizing the nuclear minus momentum subject to the constraint that, in the rest frame, the expectation values of the plusand minus-momenta are the same leads to a formalism in which rotational invariance is recovered. Light cone variables have long bee...

متن کاملLight Front Nuclear Physics: Toy Models, Static Sources and Tilted Light Front Coordinates
The principles behind the detailed results of a light-front mean field theory of finite nuclei are elucidated by deriving the nucleon mode equation using a simple general argument, based on the idea that a static source in equal time coordinates corresponds to a moving source in light front coordinates. This idea also allows us to solve several simple toy model examples: scalar field in a box, ...
