Abstract

The quasi-elastic model of nuclear electroexcitation has been generalized to include the effects of binding and the distortion of the wave function of the emitted nucleon by an energy-dependent nuclear potential. The model predicts cross sections which are in good agreement with the inelastic spectra observed in ¹²C experiments. For ¹⁶O, however, the experimental cross sections are larger than predicted especially for small energy transfers. This may be due to correlations associated with multiparticle-hole excitations which are not included in the model. The inclusion of the Perey effect, which is necessary to guarantee the usual electron scattering sum rules, was found to be very important, reducing the cross sections by 30 to 40%.

Quasi-elastic and inelastic inclusive electron scattering from an oxygen jet target
1996, Nuclear Physics A
The results of an experiment on inclusive electron scattering from an oxygen jet target, performed in a wide range of energy and momentum transfer covering both quasi-elastic and Δ(1232) resonance regions, are reported. In the former region the theoretical predictions, obtained including effects of nucleon-nucleon correlations in both initial and final states, give a good description of the experimental data. In the inelastic region a broadening as well as a damping of the resonant part of the cross section with respect to the free nucleon case is observed. The need of more detailed calculations including nuclear structure effects on the electroproduction cross section of nucleon resonances is highlighted.

Semiclassical and phase space approaches to dynamic and collisional problems of nuclei

This article summarises recent work on the semiclassical (Thomas-Fermi like) treatment of nuclear correlations and dynamical problems. After a short outline of the general technique the nucleon-nucleus optical potential in the doorway approximation (2p-1h and 2h-1p intermediate states) is treated. The imaginary part serves to calculate the energy dependent correction to the real part. The level density parameter, occupation numbers, and the mean free path are discussed. The semiclassical treatment of the nuclear response function is given in detail. Applications to inelastic electron scattering in the quasi-elastic peak region are presented. Analogously, inelastic proton scattering is calculated. Because of the surface absorption this reaction excites the surface response. The imaginary part of the single-particle (hole) potential in the evaluation of the response function introduces a 2p-2h spreading. The missing charge in the longitudinal response is reduced but not all experimental puzzles can be explained. The experience gained in the description of phenomena close to equilibrium serves to construct solutions of the Landau-Vlasov (alias Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck) equation for the description of non-equilibrium processes encountered in heavy ion reactions.
Quasi-free nucleon scattering on <sup>16</sup>O
1986, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The ¹⁶O(p, 2p)¹⁵N and ¹⁶O(p, pn)¹⁵O reactions have been observed using the MRS facility and a 505 MeV proton beam at TRIUMF. Data were acquired for sixteen pairs of angles of the emitted nucleons leading to the mirror 1p_$12$ ground and 1p_$32$ excited states of the residual nuclei over a broad range of recoil momenta. Cross sections and cross-section ratios were extracted from the data.
The results are compared with DWIA calculations in which microscopic optical potentials, with medium effects included, are used in the calculation of the scattering wave functions. The amplitudefactorized form of the cross section is used rather than the usual cross-section factorized form. Comparisons of the (p, 2p)/(p, pn) cross-section ratios are made for calculations with and without the spin-orbit optical potential, and with the free nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering cross-section ratios. The experimental cross sections and ratios are generally smaller than any of the calculations, and these differences remain to be clarified.
