Spectroscopic Factors in Ca and Pb from : Fully Relativistic Analysis
We present results for spectroscopic factors of the outermost shells in
Ca and Pb, which have been derived from the comparison between
the available quasielastic () data from NIKHEF-K and the corresponding
calculated cross-sections obtained within a fully relativistic formalism. We
include exactly the effect of Coulomb distortion on the electron wave functions
and discuss its role in the extraction of the spectroscopic factors from
experiment. Without any adjustable parameter, we find spectroscopic factors of
about 70\%, consistent with theoretical predictions. We compare our results
with previous relativistic and nonrelativistic analyses of () data. In
addition to Coulomb distortion effects we discuss different choices of the
nucleon current operator and also analyze the effects due to the relativistic
treatment of the outgoing-distorted and bound nucleon wave functions.Comment: 9 pages RevTeX, 5 figures can be obtained from the author
Relativistic description of electron scattering on the deuteron
Within a quasipotential framework a relativistic analysis is presented of the
deuteron current. Assuming that the singularities from the nucleon propagators
are important, a so-called equal time approximation of the current is
constructed. This is applied to both elastic and inelastic electron scattering.
As dynamical model the relativistic one boson exchange model is used.
Reasonable agreement is found with a previous relativistic calculation of the
elastic electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron. For the unpolarized
inelastic electron scattering effects of final state interactions and
relativistic corrections to the structure functions are considered in the
impulse approximation. Two specific kinematic situations are studied as
examples.Comment: (19 pages in revtex + 15 figures not included, available upon

UNDERSTANDING THE SCALAR MESON NONET
It is shown that one can fit the available data on the a0(980), f0(980),
f0(1300) and K*0(1430) mesons as a distorted 0++ qq bar nonet using very few
(5-6) parameters and an improved version of the unitarized quark model. This
includes all light two-pseudoscalar thresholds, constraints from Adler zeroes,
flavour symmetric couplings, unitarity and physically acceptable analyticity.
The parameters include a bare uu bar or dd bar mass, an over-all coupling
constant, a cutoff and a strange quark mass of 100 MeV, which is in accord with
expectations from the quark model.
It is found that in particular for the a0(980) and f0(980) the KK bar
component in the wave function is large, i.e., for a large fraction of the time
the qq bar state is transformed into a virtual KK bar pair. This KK bar
component, together with a similar component of eta' pi for the a0(980) , and
eta eta, eta eta' and eta' eta' components for the f0(980), causes the
substantial shift to a lower mass than what is naively expected from the qq bar
component alone.
Mass, width and mixing parameters, including sheet and pole positions, of the
four resonances are given, with a detailed pedagogical discussion of their
meaning.Comment: 35 pages in plain latex (ZPC in press), 10 figures obtainable from

Relativistic versus Nonrelativistic Optical Potentials in A(e,e'p)B Reactions
We investigate the role of relativistic and nonrelativistic optical
potentials used in the analysis of () data. We find that the
relativistic calculations produce smaller () cross sections even in the
case in which both relativistic and nonrelativistic optical potentials fit
equally well the elastic proton--nucleus scattering data. Compared to the
nonrelativistic impulse approximation, this effect is due to a depletion in the
nuclear interior of the relativistic nucleon current, which should be taken
into account in the nonrelativistic treatment by a proper redefinition of the
effective current operator.Comment: Added one new figure, the formalism section has been enlarged and the
