Angular Momentum Analysis of Spin 1/2 x 1/2 Scattering including Singlet-Triplet Mixing
nucl-th
The angular momentum (partial wave) reduction of the Lippmann--Schwinger equation describing the interaction of two spin 1/2 particles is extended to the case in which the spin singlet and triplet states are coupled. A straight forward method for obtaining the angular momentum decomposition of the general potential is ...

Critical test of multi-{\it j} supersymmetries from magnetic moment measurements
nucl-th
Magnetic moment measurements in odd nuclei directly probe the distribution of fermion states and hence provide one of the most critical tests for multi-$j$ supersymmetries in collective nuclei. Due to complexity of calculations and lack of data, such tests have not been performed in the past. Using the Mathematica soft...

Probing Hadronic Structure with The Decay $Δ\rightarrow Nl^+l^-$
nucl-th
We compute the branching ratio for $\Delta\rightarrow Ne^+e^-$ and $\Delta\rightarrow N\mu^+\mu^-$ in chiral perturbation theory and find that both decays should be observable at CEBAF. With sufficiently low thresholds on the $e^+e^-$ invariant mass a branching ratio of $\sim 10^{-5}$ may be observed for $\Delta\righta...

Nuclear effects in Deep Inelastic Scattering of polarized electrons off polarized 3He and the neutron spin structure functions
nucl-th
It is shown that the nuclear effects playing a relevant role in Deep Inelastic Scattering of polarized electrons by polarized $^3$He are mainly those arising from the effective proton and neutron polarizations generated by the $S'$ and $D$ waves in $^3$He. A simple and reliable equation relating the neutron, $g_1^n$, a...

Quantum theory of large amplitude collective motion and the Born-Oppenheimer method
nucl-th
We study the quantum foundations of a theory of large amplitude collective motion for a Hamiltonian expressed in terms of canonical variables. In previous work the separation into slow and fast (collective and non-collective) variables was carried out without the explicit intervention of the Born Oppenheimer approach. ...

Dirac Hartree-Fock for Finite Nuclei Employing realistic Forces
nucl-th
We discuss two different approximation schemes for the self-consistent solution of the {\it relativistic} Brueckner-Hartree-Fock equation for finite nuclei. In the first scheme, the Dirac effects are deduced from corresponding nuclear matter calculations, whereas in the second approach the local-density approximation i...

On the Spectacular Large Asymmetry in $\pbarppipi$ and $\pbarpKK$ Reactions}
nucl-th
An illustrative analysis is presented to show the origin of the energy-independent maximal asymmetry observed for wide ranges of angles in the reactions $\pbarppipi$ and $\pbarpKK$. % The general nature of our simple relation between helicity -flip and -nonflip partial wave amplitudes enforces the notion that % these f...

Exclusive Hadronic Reactions at High $Q^2$ ($90\degree$) and Polarization Phenomena, An Experimental Proposal}
nucl-th
Arguments are presented for the expected behaviour of $\piNpiN$ scattering and the $\pbarppipi$ reaction at high energy and large scattering angles. % The annihilation reaction has close to maximal asymmetry ($\approx$ 1) for $p_{lab} \siml $ 2.2 GeV/c. % As will be presented for fixed (90$\degree$) angle this large as...

The Quasi-Elastic Nuclear Response
nucl-th
We explore the nuclear responses at intermediate energies, particularly in the spin longitudinal and spin transverse isovector channels, within the continuum random phase approximation framework. We also employ an extension of the standard random phase approximation to account for the spreading width of the single part...

Comment on Neutron-Proton Spin-Correlation Parameter A_{ZZ} at 68 Mev
nucl-th
We present two arguments indicating that the large value for the $\epsilon_1$ mixing parameter at 50 MeV, which the Basel group extracted from their recent $A_{zz}$ measurement, may be incorrect. First, there are nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials which predict the $\epsilon_1$ at 50 MeV substantially below the Basel valu...

Correlations in Nuclei: Self-Consistent Treatment and the BAGEL Approach
nucl-th
An approach is presented which allows a self-consistent description of the fragmentation of single-particle strength for nucleons in finite nuclei employing the Greens function formalism. The self-energy to be considered in the Dyson equation for the single-particle Greens function contains all terms of first (Hartree-...

Gauge Invariance and the Electromagnetic Current of Composite Pions
nucl-th
The Global Color-symmetry Model of QCD is extended to deal with a background electromagnetic field and the associated conserved current is identified for composite $\bar{q}q$ pion modes of the model. Although the analysis is limited to tree level in the bilocal fields that bosonize the model, the identified photon-pion...

Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Models Beyond the Mean Field Approximation

Inspired by the model of Nambu and Jona-Lasinio, various Lagrangians are considered for a system of interacting quarks. Employing standard techniques of many-body theory, the scalar part of the quark self-energy is calculated including terms up to second-order in the interaction. Results obtained for the single-particl...

Collective Modes in a Slab of Interacting Nuclear Matter: The effects of finite range interactions

We consider a slab of nuclear matter and investigate the collective excitations, which develop in the response function of the system. We introduce a finite-range realistic interaction among the nucleons, which reproduces the full G-matrix by a linear combination of gaussian potentials in the various spin-isospin chann...

Role of heavy-meson exchange in pion production near threshold

Recent calculations of $s$-wave pion production have severely underestimated the accurately known $pp\rightarrow pp\pi^0$\ total cross section near threshold. In these calculations, only the single-nucleon axial-charge operator is considered. We have calculated, in addition to the one-body term, the two-body contributi...

The spectral function of pions interacting with a gas of nucleons and Delta-33-resonances is investigated using the formalism of Thermo Field Dynamics. After a discussion of the zero Delta-width approximation at finite temperature, we take into account a constant width of the resonance. Apart from a full numerical calc...

Diagonalization of full finite temperature Green's function by quasi-particles

For thermal systems, standard perturbation theory breaks down because of the absence of stable, observable asymptotic states. We show, how the introduction of {\it statistical} quasi-particles (stable, but not observable) gives rise to a consistent description. Statistical and spectral information can be cleanly separa...
