Shepard, J R

The Relativistic Impulse Approximation (RIA) for proton-nucleus elastic and inelastic scattering is contrasted with its non-relativistic counterpart (the NRIA). Differences between the two approaches are examined with special emphasis on the nuclear convection current and its generalizations which may show signatures of strong relativistic nuclear potentials. A simple extension of the RIA to meson-nucleus scattering based on the linear, spin-zero Duffin-Kemmer wave equation is considered.
