Nucleon magnetic moments in an extended chiral constituent quark model
We present results for the nucleon magnetic moments in the context of an
extended chiral constituent quark model based on the mechanism of the Goldstone
boson exchange, as suggested by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in
QCD. The electromagnetic charge-current operator is consistently deduced from
the model Hamiltonian, which includes all force components for the
pseudoscalar, vector and scalar meson exchanges. Thus, the continuity equation
is satisfied for each piece of the interaction, avoiding the introduction of
any further parameter. A good agreement with experimental values is found. The
role of isoscalar two-body operators, not constrained by the continuity
equation, is also investigated.Comment: 7 pages, 1 table, submitted for publication to Phys. Lett. B,

On the NN-final-state-interaction in the reaction
The influence of the mutual interaction between the two outgoing nucleons
(NN-FSI) in the reaction has been investigated.
Results for various kinematics are discussed. In general, the effect of
NN-FSI depends on kinematics and the chosen final state in the excitation
spectrum of .Comment: 12 pages Revtex including 4 postscript figure
On the treatment of the -contribution in electromagnetic -knockout reactions
The treatment of the -current and its contribution in the exclusive
OC and OC knockout reactions are
investigated in combination with the effects of correlations.
Different parametrizations of the effective -current and different
treatments of correlations in the two-nucleon overlap function are considered.
The results are presented and discussed for a suitable choice of kinematics. It
is found that the investigation of different mutually supplementing kinematics
is necessary to resolve the uncertainties in the theoretical ingredients and
extract clear and unambiguous information on correlations.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, EPJA styl
NN correlations and final-state interactions in (e,e'NN) reactions
After a brief overview of relevant studies on one-nucleon knockout showing
the importance of quantitatively understanding the origin of the quenched
spectroscopic factors extracted from data, attention is focussed on two-nucleon
emission as a suitable tool to investigate nucleon-nucleon correlations inside
complex nuclei. In particular, direct (e,epp) and (e,epn) reactions are
discussed, and the role of final-state interactions is studied. The influence
of the mutual interaction between the two outgoing nucleons is shown to depend
on the kinematics and on the type of the considered reaction.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures. Proceedings of 2nd Int. Conf. on Nuclear and

The NN-final-state-interaction in two-nucleon-knockout reactions
The influence of the mutual interaction between the two outgoing nucleons
(NN-FSI) in electro- and photoinduced two-nucleon knockout from has
been investigated perturbatively. It turns out that the effect of NN-FSI
depends on the kinematics and on the type of reaction considered. In the
kinematics studied so far, the effect is larger in pp- than in pn-knockout and
in electron induced than in photoinduced reactions.Comment: 10 pages including 9 postscript figures, contribution to the 6th

Electroweak properties of baryons in a covariant chiral quark model
The proton and neutron electromagnetic form factors and the nucleon axial
form factor have been calculated in the Goldstone-boson exchange
constituent-quark model within the point-form approach to relativistic quantum
mechanics. The results, obtained without any adjustable parameter nor quark
form factors, are, due to the dramatic effects of the boost required by the
covariant treatment, in striking agreement with the data.Comment: Proceedings of the Conference N*2001, Mainz; 4 pages, 3 figures

Electromagnetic proton-neutron knockout off 16O: new achievements in theory
Results for the cross sections of the exclusive 16O(e,e'pn)14N and
16O(gamma,pn)14N knockout reactions are presented and discussed in different
kinematics. In comparison with earlier work, a complete treatment of the
center-of-mass (CM) effects in the nuclear one-body current is considered in
connection with the problem of the lack of orthogonality between initial bound
and final scattering states. The effects due to CM and orthogonalization are
investigated in combination with different treatments of correlations in the
two-nucleon overlap function and for different parametrizations of the two-body
currents. The CM effects lead in super-parallel kinematics to a dramatic
increase of the 16O(e,e'pn) cross section to the 1_2^+ excited state (3.95 MeV)
of 14N. In all the situations considered the results are very sensitive to the
treatment of correlations. A crucial role is played by tensor correlations, but
also the contribution of long-range correlations is important.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Nucleon electromagnetic and axial form factors in point-form relativistic quantum mechanics
Results for the proton and neutron electric and magnetic form factors as well
as the nucleon axial form factor are presented for constituent quark models,
based on either one-gluon-exchange and Goldstone-boson-exchange dynamics. The
calculations are performed in a covariant framework using the point-form
approach to relativistic quantum mechanics. The only input to the calculations
is the nucleon wave function of the corresponding constituent quark model. A
comparison is given to results of the instanton-induced constituent quark model
treated with the Bethe-Salpeter equation.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, contribution to XVIII European Conference on

Covariant electroweak nucleon form factors in a chiral constituent quark model
Results for the proton and neutron electric and magnetic form factors as well
asthe nucleon axial and induced pseudoscalar form factors are presented for the
chiral constituent quark model based on Goldstone-boson-exchange dynamics. The
calculations are performed in a covariant framework using the point-form
approach to relativistic quantum mechanics. The direct predictions of the model
yield a remarkably consistent picture of the electroweak nucleon structure.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures revte
