The nuclear charge distributions of ⁴⁰Ca and ³⁹K have been extracted from elastic electron scattering cross sections. The difference of the distributions shows a concentration of charge in a single peak at 4.1 fm. Comparisons with models are made.     

Nuclear longitudinal form factors for axially deformed charge distributions expanded by nonorthogonal basis functions

In this paper,the nuclear longitudinal form factors are systematically studied from the intrinsic charge multipoles.For axially deformed nuclei,two different types of density profiles are used to describe their charge distributions.For the same charge distributions expanded with different basis functions,the corresponding longitudinal form factors are derived and compared with each other.Results show the multipoles C_λ of longitudinal form factors are independent of the basis functions of charge distributions.Further numerical calculations of longitudinal form factors of~(12)C indicates that the C_0 multipole reflects the contributions of spherical components of all nonorthogonal basis functions.For deformed nuclei,their charge RMS radii can also be determined accurately by the C_0 measurement.The studies in this paper examine the model-independent properties of electron scattering,which are useful for interpreting electron scattering experiments on exotic deformed nuclei.     

Compton scattering of 59.5 keV gamma rays from p-Si sample in an external electric field

This study is related to Compton scattering of photons from a p-Si sample whose surface charge density distributions are changed by an external electric field. The external electric field intensity in the range 0-75 kV/m was used to change the surface charge density distributions of the sample. The sample surface perpendicular to the electric field was selected as the scattering surface. The p-Si sample was bombarded by 59.5 keV γ-photons emitting from an Am-241 point source. The Compton scattered photons at an angle of 90^o were detected by an Si(Li) detector. The Compton scattering intensity suddenly increased with the application of the electric field since the applied electric field distorts both the negatively charged scattering center (free electron, bound electron, ionized acceptor) and the positively charged scattering center (hole) and their momentum distribution in the sample. There is a good third-order polynominal relation between the Compton scattering intensity and the increasing (or decreasing) electric field intensity. The results show that the positively charged scattering centers behave like negatively charged scattering centers, but the latter are slightly more effective than the former in the Compton scattering of γ-rays from the sample in the electric field.     

Coulomb potentials between spherical heavy ions

The Coulomb interaction between spherical nuclei having arbitrary radial nuclear charge distributions is calculated. All these realistic Coulomb potentials are given in terms of analytical expressions and are available for immediate application. So in no case a numerical computation of the Coulomb integral is required. The parameters of the charge distributions are taken from electron scattering analysis. The Coulomb self-energies of the charge distributions used are also calculated analytically in a closed form. For a number of nucleus-nucleus pairs, the Coulomb potentials derived from realistic charge distributions are compared with those normally used in various nucleus-nucleus optical model calculations. In this connection a detailed discussion of the problem how to choose consistently Coulomb parameters for different approximations is given.     

Compton scattering of 59.54 keV γ‐rays from Fe and p‐Si samples in an external magnetic field

We report on the Compton scattering of photons from samples whose surface charge density distributions are changed by an external magnetic field. We performed a Compton scattering experiment known to be particularly sensitive to the behavior of the relatively slower moving outer electrons (valence electrons) involved in bonding in condensed matter. The external magnetic field was used to change the surface charge density distributions of Fe and p‐Si samples. Samples were located in the external magnetic field of intensity 215 G and in a direction which was perpendicular both to the current and surface of the samples bombarded by 59.5 keV γ‐photons emitted from an Am‐241 point source. Currents in the ranges 0–8.5 A and 0–300 µA were applied to the Fe and p‐Si samples, respectively. The Compton scattered photons at an angle of 100° were detected by an Si(Li) detector. It was observed that the counts acquired under the Compton peaks tended to decrease linearly with increasing current in a magnetic field. The results show that positive charge carriers behave like negative charge carriers and electrons are more effective than holes in the Compton scattering of γ‐rays.

Ground state correlations and electron scattering

The effect of random phase ground state correlations on charge densities and elastic electron scattering cross sections is studied for²⁰⁸Pb and⁴⁰Ca. Modifications of the charge densities relative to densities obtained by Hartree-Fock calculations with a density dependent force are studied using different RPA wave functions. The differences with respect to the HF charge distributions are discussed.     

Study of parton spin-dependent distributions in hard proton-proton collisions through measurement of handedness

Polarization of partons emitted in hard scattering of an unpolarized proton beam from a polarized hydrogen target can be found through a measurement of jet handedness. Two definitions of handedness are suggested with zero and essentially nonzero contributions of gluon jets. A sensitivity of the handedness to the valence, sea quark and gluon distributions is considered. Handedness properties under the charge conjugation and flavorSU (2) transformations are investigated. An option to study the spin-dependent parton distributions in hard scattering of the unpolarized HERA proton beam from the polarized internal hydrogen target is discussed.     

Nuclear Effects in Structure Functions xFa（x, Q^2） from Charge Current Neutrino Deep Inelastic Scattering

By taking advantage of the model-independent nuclear parton distributions, the structure functions xF3（x, Q^2） are calculated, in comparison with the experimental data from CCFR neutrino-nuclei charge current deep inelastic scattering. It is shown that shadowing and anti-shadowing effects occur in valence quark distributions for small and medium x regions, respectively. It is suggested that the neutrino experimental data should be employed in the future for pinning down the nuclear patton distributions.

Theoretical study of the central depression of nuclear charge density distribution by electron scattering

The charge form factors of elastic electron scattering for isotones with N=20 and N=28 are calculated using the phase-shift analysis method, with corresponding charge density distributions from relativistic mean-field theory. The results show that there are sharp variations at the inner parts of charge distributions with the proton number decreasing. The corresponding charge form factors are divided into two groups because of the unique properties of the s-states wave functions, though the proton numbers change uniformly in two isotonic chains. Meanwhile, the shift regularities of the minima are also discussed, and we give a clear relation between the minima of the charge form factors and the corresponding charge radii. This relation is caused by the diffraction effect of the electron. Under this conclusion, we calculate the charge density distributions and the charge form factors of the A=44 nuclei chain. The results are also useful for studying the central depression in light exotic nuclei.     

Deeply virtual Compton scattering on a virtual pion target

We study deeply virtual Compton scattering on a virtual pion that is emitted by a proton. Using a range of models for the generalized parton distributions of the pion, we evaluate the cross section, as well as the beam spin and beam charge asymmetries in the leading-twist approximation. Studying Compton scattering on the pion in suitable kinematics puts high demands on both beam energy and luminosity, and we find that the corresponding requirements will first be met after the energy upgrade at Jefferson Laboratory. As a by-product of our study, we construct a parameterization of pion generalized parton distributions that has a non-trivial interplay between the x and t dependence and is in good agreement with form factor data and lattice calculations.     

Electron scattering for exotic nuclei

A brand-new electron scattering facility, the SCRIT Electron Scattering Facility, will soon start its operation at RIKEN RI Beam Factory, Japan. This is the world’s first electron scattering facility dedicated to the structure studies of short-lived nuclei. The goal of this facility is to determine the charge density distributions of short-lived exotic nuclei by elastic electron scattering. The first collision between electrons and exotic nuclei will be observed in the year 2014.     

Elastic electron scattering on Zr and Mo

Elastic electron scattering on ⁹⁰Zr and ⁹²Mo has been measured at 200 and 300 MeV up to 2 fm⁻¹ momentum transfer. Data analysis led us to adopt the parabolic Gaussian shape as a valuable charge distribution for these nuclei. For ⁹⁰Zr, we have compared this model with charge distributions given by recent Hartree-Fock calculations.

Energies of muonic X-rays of the K-series of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen have been measured with an accuracy of about 15 eV. Root mean square radii of the nuclear charge distributions were deduced. The results 2.49±0.05 fm for carbon, 2.55±0.03 fm for nitrogen and 2.71 ±0.02 fm for oxygen are in good agreement at comparable accuracy with recent electron scattering data.     

The determination of the nuclear ground state and transition charge density from measured electron scattering data

The evaluation of elastic and inelastic electron scattering cross sections is discussed in terms of the Fourier-Bessel expansion of the nuclear ground state and transition charge density, respectively. The method allows one to deduce the charge distributions and the moments as well as the corresponding errors, which originate on the one hand from the uncertainties in the measured data and on the other hand from the lack of knowledge about the large-q behaviour of the form factors; these two contributions are determined separately. The method is described and proved with an evaluation of pseudodata and then applied to ²⁰⁸Pb cross sections. For this nucleus, detailed results concerning the possible structure of the charge density are presented.
