Spin dependent Momentum Distributions in Deformed Nuclei
We study the properties of the spin dependent one body density in momentum
space for odd--A polarized deformed nuclei within the mean field approximation.
We derive analytic expressions connecting intrinsic and laboratory momentum
distributions. The latter are related to observable transition densities in
{\bf p}--space that can be probed in one nucleon knock--out reactions from
polarized targets. It is shown that most of the information contained in the
intrinsic spin dependent momentum distribution is lost when the nucleus is not
polarized. Results are presented and discussed for two prolate nuclei,
Ne and Mg, and for one oblate nucleus, Ar. The effects of
deformation are highlighted by comparison to the case of odd--A nuclei in the
spherical model.Comment: Latex 2.09. 25 pages and 6 figures (available from

Nuclear Pairing in the T=0 channel revisited
Recent published data on the isoscalar gap in symmetric nuclear matter using
the Paris force and the corresponding BHF single particle dispersion are
corrected leading to an extremely high proton-neutron gap of
MeV at . Arguments whether this value can be reduced due
to screening effects are discussed. A density dependent delta interaction with
cut off is adjusted so as to approximately reproduce the nuclear matter values
with the Paris force.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
AB responses: from bare nucleons to complex nuclei
We study the occurrence of factorization in polarized and unpolarized
observables in coincidence quasi-elastic electron scattering. Starting with the
relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation, we reformulate the effective
momentum approximation and show that the latter leads to observables which
factorize under some specific conditions. Within this framework, the role
played by final state interactions and, in particular, by the spin-orbit term
is explored. Connection with the nonrelativistic formalism is studied in depth.
Numerical results are presented to illustrate the analytical derivations and to
quantify the differences between factorized and unfactorized approaches.Comment: 26 pages, 5 figures. Improved and extended version. To be published

Hints on the quadrupole deformation of the (1232)
The E2/M1 ratio (EMR) of the (1232) is extracted from the world data
in pion photoproduction by means of an Effective Lagrangian Approach (ELA).This
quantity has been derived within a crossing symmetric, gauge invariant, and
chiral symmetric Lagrangian model which also contains a consistent modern
treatment of the (1232) resonance. The \textit{bare} s-channel
(1232) contribution is well isolated and Final State Interactions (FSI)
are effectively taken into account fulfilling Watson's theorem. The obtained
EMR value, EMR%, is in good agreement with the latest lattice
QCD calculations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 021601 (2005)] and disagrees with
results of current quark model calculations.Comment: Enlarged conclusions and explanations on the E2/M1 ratio. Figure 3
