    Finite Formation Time (FFT) effects in the exclusive reaction ^4He(e,e'p)^3H at high values of Q^2 are introduced and discussed. It is shown that the minimum in the momentum distributions predicted by the Plane Wave Impulse Approximation (PWIA), which is filled by the Glauber-type Final State Interaction (FSI), is completely recovered when FFT effects are taken into account. The semi-inclusive process ^4 He(e,e'p)X is also investigated.Comment: 4 pages, 2 eps figure

    Many-Body Theory of the Electroweak Nuclear Response

    Full text link
    After a brief review of the theoretical description of nuclei based on nonrelativistic many-body theory and realistic hamiltonians, these lectures focus on its application to the analysis of the electroweak response. Special emphasis is given to electron-nucleus scattering, whose experimental study has provided a wealth of information on nuclear structure and dynamics, exposing the limitations of the shell model. The extension of the formalism to the case of neutrino-nucleus interactions, whose quantitative understanding is required to reduce the systematic uncertainty of neutrino oscillation experiments, is also discussed.Comment: Lectures delivered at the DAE-BRNS Workshop on Hadron Physics.

    Ground-state correlations and final state interactions in the process 3He(e,e'pp)n

    Get PDF
    The two-proton emission process 3He(e,e′pp)n^3He(e,e'pp)n is theoretically investigated using realistic three-nucleon wave functions and taking the final state interaction into account by an approach which can be used when the value of the three-nucleon invariant mass is either below or above the pion emission threshold. Various kinematical conditions which enhance or minimize the effects of the final state interaction are thoroughly analyzed.Comment: 26 pages, 12 eps-figures.

    On the effects of the final state interaction in the electro-disintegration of the deuteron at intermediate and high energies

    Full text link
    The role of the final state interactions (FSI) in the inclusive quasi-elastic disintegration of the deuteron is investigated treating the two-nucleon final state within the exact continuum solutions of the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation, as well as within the Glauber multiple scattering approach. It is shown that for values of the Bjorken scaling variable xBj≃1x_{Bj}\simeq 1 both approaches provide similar results, unless the case xBj≳1x_{Bj}\gtrsim 1, where they appreciably disagree. It is demonstrated that present experimental data, which are mostly limited to a region of four-momentum transfer (Q2≲4(GeV/c)2Q^2 \lesssim 4 (GeV/c)^2) where the Center-of-Mass energy of the final state is below the pion threshold production, can be satisfactorily reproduced by the approach based on the exact solution of the Schroedinger equation and not by the Glauber approach. It is also pointed out that the latter, unlike the former, does not satisfy the inelastic Coulomb sum rule, the violation being of the order of about 20%.Comment: 16 LaTeX pages, 10 eps-figures, 1 tabl

    Final state interaction in inclusive and exclusive quasi-elastic processes

    Get PDF
    We discuss a new approach to final state interactions, that keeps explicitly into account the virtuality of the ejected nucleon in quasi-elastic A(e,e′p)XA(e,e'p)X scattering at very large Q2Q^2, and we present some recent results, at moderately large Q2Q^2 values, for the nuclear transparency in 4He^4He, 16O^{16}O and 40Ca^{40}Ca and for the momentum distributions of 4He^4He.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, Prepared for the workshop "Cortona 2000, VIII Convegno su Problemi di Fisica Nucleare Teorica

    Nuclear effects in Deep Inelastic Scattering of polarized electrons off polarized 3He and the neutron spin structure functions

    Full text link
    It is shown that the nuclear effects playing a relevant role in Deep Inelastic Scattering of polarized electrons by polarized 3^3He are mainly those arising from the effective proton and neutron polarizations generated by the S′S' and DD waves in 3^3He. A simple and reliable equation relating the neutron, g1ng_1^n, and 3^3He, g13g_1^3, spin structure functions is proposed. It is shown that the measurement of the first moment of the 3^3He structure function can provide a significant check of the Bjorken Sum Rule.Comment: 11 pages (revTeX), DFUPG 75/93; 5 (postscript) figures available upon request from the author
