Abstract

We calculate the rates of the $^{16} O (0^{+} ⇄0^{−})^{16} N$ axial transitions in the model of a relativistic nucleon bound in scalar and vector potentials. Compared with the usual Schrödinger description, we find an appreciable increase of these transition rates and, as a result, their use as test cases of exchange currents may be questionable.

Relativistic models of the spin-isospin-weak quasielastic response
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A relativistic formalism for many quasielastic nuclear reactions is discussed. Here relativistic effects arise from the change in nucleon Dirac spinors in the medium. This change reduces the analyzing power in $(p, p′)$ and the RPA enhancement of the spin longitudinal response in $(p, n)$ . It also may impact the extraction of nucleon axial and strange quark currents from quasielastic neutrino scattering data.
Electromagnetic response functions in quantum hadrodynamics
1993, Physics Reports
Elastic, inelastic and quasielastic electron scattering probes the electromagnetic response of nuclei in a wide range of energy and momentum transfer. We review electromagnetic response functions evaluated in relativistic models of nuclear structure, based on baryon and meson degrees of freedom (quantum hadrodynamics). Results obtained within different models and approximations of quantum hadrodynamics are compared with data. We emphasize constraints of current conservation and selfconsistency. Random-phase correlations are important and have different impact in different kinematical regimes.
Nuclear photoreactions at intermediate energies
1990, Physics Reports
We review the interaction of real photons with nuclei up to the GeV region. The common microscopic description of exchange effects below threshold and of the corresponding real photoproduction above, is emphasized. The theoretical problems connected with π photoproduction in the Δ region and vector meson photoproduction are spelled out and solved. The gross features of the reaction mechanism are shown to explain both the low energy region, the bulk properties around the Δ(1241) resonance, as well as the appearance of shadowing only above the ϱ threshold.
Chiral symmetry and the axial current in nuclear matter
1990, Annals of Physics
The renormalization of the axial current of a nucleon bound in nuclear matter is investigated by using a chiral invariant relativistic field theory. The role of PCAC in the medium is discussed generally and explored in detailed model calculations. Relativistic corrections to the effective axial coupling constants for Gamow-Teller and weak 0⁻-0⁺ transitions are discussed and compared to traditional effects. The renormalization of the effective pseudoscalar form factor is also calculated. The behaviour of the axial current near the chiral phase transition point is investigated in detail.
Relativistic effects for the spin-orbit magnetic moment and in the dipole sum rule

Electromagnetic meson-exchange currents at the nucleon mass scale
1989, Physics Reports
The present status of meson-exchange currents for the most interesting electromagnetic transitions is discussed in detail. We shall see that a consistent description in the context of the meson-exchange model for the nucleon-nucleon potential is now possible and very successful. As a starting point, the nuclear wave functions of the two- and three-body systems are discussed from a qualitative point of view. The meson-exchange current operators are then derived in the soft-pion limit and further extended at high momentum transfer via an effective model Lagrangian. Typical experimental results involving real and virtual photons in the two- and three-body systems are presented and interpreted in terms of one- and two-body electromagnetic operators. Contributions of meson-exchange currents in heavy nuclei are discussed, and the connections with the present relativistic description of nuclear systems are given. Finally, the most interesting corrections of the electromagnetic operators arising from new degrees of freedom in the nuclear wave function (e.g. quarks and gluons), or from the particular topological structure of the nucleon are reviewed.
