Nucleon-nucleus inelastic scattering using a relativistic impulse approximation with exchange

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

We formulate a microscopic relativistic treatment of nucleon-nucleus inelastic scattering in a distorted wave impulse approximation. The interaction is taken from a Lorentz invariant formulation with explicit direct and exchange terms constrained by fitting to experimental NN amplitudes. This procedure allows us to apply the theory in the lower range of intermediate energies (100--400 MeV) where exchange effects are likely to be important. Application to inelastic scattering uses this interaction for both the distorting potentials and the transition interaction. Effects of explicit exchange are studied and a preliminary analysis of /sup 12/C(p,p') data is presented.
