Final state interaction effects in scattering
We present a systematic study of the final-state interaction (FSI) effects in
scattering in the CEBAF energy range with particular emphasis on the
phenomenon of the angular anisotropy of the missing momentum distribution. We
find that FSI effects dominate at missing momentum p_m \gsim 1.5 fm.
FSI effects in the excitation of the -wave state are much stronger than in
the excitation of the -wave.Comment: LATEX, 11 pages, 5 figures available from the authors on request,

Quark-Hadron Duality in Structure Functions
While quark-hadron duality is well-established experimentally, the current
theoretical understanding of this important phenomenon is quite limited. To
expose the essential features of the dynamics behind duality, we use a simple
model in which the hadronic spectrum is dominated by narrow resonances made of
valence quarks. We qualitatively reproduce the features of duality as seen in
electron scattering data within our model. We show that in order to observe
duality, it is essential to use the appropriate scaling variable and scaling
function. In addition to its great intrinsic interest in connecting the
quark-gluon and hadronic pictures, an understanding of quark-hadron duality
could lead to important benefits in extending the applicability of scaling into
previously inaccessible regions.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures; minor typos correcte
Final state interactions and correlations: are the latter observable?
Are effects of short range correlations in the ground state of the target
nucleus (initial state correlations ISC) observable in experiments on
quasielastic scattering at large missing momentum ? Will the
missing momentum spectrum observed at CEBAF be overwhelmed by final state
interactions (FSI) of the struck proton? The recent advances in the theory of
FSI and findings of complex interplay and strong quantum-mechanical
interference of FSI and ISC contributions to scattering at p_{m}\gsim
1\,fm are reviewed. We conclude that for p_m \gsim 1 \, fm
quasielastic scattering is dominated by FSI effects and the sensitivity to
details of the nuclear ground state is lost.Comment: Invited Talk given by N.N.Nikolaev at the Conference on Perspectives

Final State Charge Exchange Interactions in the Reaction
The reaction is analyzed in a model which explicitly includes
final state interactions due to the coupling of the proton and neutron emission
channels. We find that the effects of the final state interactions due to
charge exchange reactions are important to get a good description of the
symmetry properties of the recently measured Mainz spectral functions. We
discuss the possible role the off-shell effects may play for the correct
interpretation of spectral functions at large positive missing momenta.Comment: 9 pages Revtex, 4 figure
Origin of Relativistic Effects in the Reaction D(e,e'p)n at GeV Energies
In a series of recent publications, a new approach to the non-relativistic
reduction of the electromagnetic current operator in calculations of
electro-nuclear reactions has been introduced. In one of these papers, the
conjecture that at energies of a few GeV, the bulk of the relativistic effects
comes from the current and not from the nuclear dynamics was made, based on the
large relativistic effects in the transverse-longitudinal response. Here, we
explicitly compare a fully relativistic, manifestly covariant calculation
performed with the Gross equation, with a calculation that uses a
non-relativistic wave function and a fully relativistic current operator. We
find very good agreement up to missing momenta of 400 MeV/c, thus confirming
the previous conjecture. We discuss slight deviations in cross sections for
higher missing momenta and their possible origin, namely p-wave contributions
and off-shell effects.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figure
Charge-Exchange and multi-scattering effects in (e,e'n) knockout
Final-state interactions in (e,e'n) knockout reactions in the quasi-free
region are studied by considering the multistep direct scattering of the
ejectile nucleon. Primary and multiple particle emission are included within
the same model and are found to become important with increasing excitation
energy. Charge-exchange effects taken into account through the two-step
(e,e'p)(p,n) and three-step (e,e'p)(p,N)(N,n) processes are also found to
increase with energy. A comparison with the results obtained with an
isospin-dependent optical potential at small excitation energies is presented.Comment: 12 pages, 4 Postscript figures. A new section on multiple particle
emission added together with 2 new figures including primary and multiple
emission cross section
Spin-orbit final state interaction in the framework of Glauber theory for (e,e'p) reactions
We investigate the reactions D(e,e'p)n and D(\vec e,e'p)n at GeV energies and
discuss the opportunities to distinguish between different models for the
nuclear ground state by measuring the response functions. In calculating the
final-state interaction (FSI) we employ Glauber theory, and we also include
relativistic effects in the electromagnetic current. We include not only the
central FSI, but also the spin-orbit FSI which is usually neglected in (e,e'p)
calculations within the Glauber framework and we show that this contribution
plays a crucial role for the fifth response function. All of the methods
developed here can be applied to any target nucleus.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figures, minor change in figures 3 and 4 (changed beam

Covariant description of inelastic electron--deuteron scattering:predictions of the relativistic impulse approximation
Using the covariant spectator theory and the transversity formalism, the
unpolarized, coincidence cross section for deuteron electrodisintegration,
, is studied. The relativistic kinematics are reviewed, and simple
theoretical formulae for the relativistic impulse approximation (RIA) are
derived and discussed. Numerical predictions for the scattering in the high
region obtained from the RIA and five other approximations are presented
and compared. We conclude that measurements of the unpolarized coincidence
cross section and the asymmetry , to an accuracy that will distinguish
between different theoretical models, is feasible over most of the wide
kinematic range accessible at Jefferson Lab.Comment: 54 pages and 24 figure
Faddeev and Glauber Calculations at Intermediate Energies in a Model for n+d Scattering
Obtaining cross sections for nuclear reactions at intermediate energies based
on the Glauber formulation has a long tradition. Only recently the energy
regime of a few hundred MeV has become accessible to ab-initio Faddeev
calculations of three-body scattering. In order to go to higher energies, the
Faddeev equation for three-body scattering is formulated and directly solved
without employing a partial wave decomposition. In the simplest form the
Faddeev equation for interacting scalar particles is a three-dimensional
integral equation in five variables, from which the total cross section, the
cross sections for elastic scattering and breakup reactions, as well as
differential cross sections are obtained. The same observables are calculated
based on the Glauber formulation. The first order Glauber calculation and the
Glauber rescattering corrections are compared in detail with the corresponding
terms of the Faddeev multiple scattering series for projectile energies between
100 MeV and 2 GeV.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figure
