The nuclear spin-isospin response to quasifree nucleon scattering
The Neutron-Time-of-Flight (NTOF) facility at LAMPF has been used to measure complete sets of polarization-transfer coefficients for quasifree ({rvec p},{rvec n}) scattering from {sup 2}H, {sup 12}C, and {sup 40}Ca at 494 MeV and scattering angles of 12.5{degrees}, 18{degrees}, and 27{degrees} (q = 1.2, 1.7, 2.5 fm{sup {minus}1}). These measurements yield separated transverse ({sigma} {times} q) and longitudinal ({sigma}{center_dot}q) isovector spin responses. Comparison of the separated responses to calculations and to electron-scattering responses reveals a strong enhancement in the spin transverse channel. This excess transverse strength masks the effect of pionic correlations in the response ratio.
