Finite formation time effects in inclusive and semi-inclusive electro-disintegration of few-body nuclei
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
Electromagnetic Transition Form Factors of Nucleon Resonances
Recent measurements of nucleon resonance transition form factors with CLAS at
Jefferson Lab are discussed. The new data resolve a long-standing puzzle of the
nature of the Roper resonance, and confirm the assertion of the symmetric
constituent quark model of the Roper as the first radial excitation of the
nucleon. The data on production at high confirm the slow fall
off of the transition form factor with , and better
constrain the branching ratios and .
Also, new results on the transition amplitudes for the resonance
are presented showing a rapid change from helicity 3/2 dominance seen at the
real photon point to helicty 1/2 dominance at higher .Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
On the effects of the final state interaction in the electro-disintegration of the deuteron at intermediate and high energies
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 both
approaches provide similar results, unless the case , where
they appreciably disagree. It is demonstrated that present experimental data,
which are mostly limited to a region of four-momentum transfer () 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
We discuss a new approach to final state interactions, that keeps explicitly
into account the virtuality of the ejected nucleon in quasi-elastic
scattering at very large , and we present some recent results, at
moderately large values, for the nuclear transparency in ,
and and for the momentum distributions of .Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, Prepared for the workshop "Cortona 2000, VIII

Many-Body Theory of the Electroweak Nuclear Response
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
The two-proton emission process 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. Introduction and abstract updated, few
