Title: Comparison of the electromagnetic responses of ${}^{12}C$ obtained from the Green's function Monte Carlo and spectral function approaches

Abstract

Here, the electromagnetic responses of carbon obtained from the Green's function Monte Carlo and spectral function approaches using the same dynamical input are compared in the kinematical region corresponding to momentum transfer in the range 300–570 MeV. The results of our analysis, aimed at pinning down the limits of applicability of the approximations involved in the two schemes, indicate that the factorization ansatz underlying the spectral function formalism provides remarkably accurate results down to momentum transfer as low as 300 MeV. On the other hand, it appears that at 570 MeV relativistic corrections to the electromagnetic current not included in the Monte Carlo calculations may play a significant role in the transverse channel.

Electromagnetic and neutral-weak response functions of ${}^{4}{He}$ and ${}^{12}C$

Journal Article Lovato, A. ; Gandolfi, S. ; Carlson, J. ; ... - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

Background: A major goal of nuclear theory is to understand the strong interaction in nuclei as it manifests itself in terms of two- and many-body forces among the nuclear constituents, the protons and neutrons, and the interactions of these constituents with external electroweak probes via one-and many-body currents. Purpose: The objective of the present work is to calculate the quasielastic electroweak response functions in light nuclei within the realistic dynamical framework outlined above. These response functions determine the inclusive cross section as function of the lepton momentum and energy transfers. Methods: Their ab initio calculation is a very challenging quantummore »« less

Low energy scattering cross section ratios of ${}^{14}N (p, p) {}^{14}N$

Journal Article deBoer, R. J. ; Bardayan, D. W. ; Görres, J. ; ... - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

Background: The slowest reaction in the first CNO cycle is ¹⁴N(p, γ) ¹⁵O, therefore its rate determines the overall energy production efficiency of the entire cycle. The cross section presents several strong resonance contributions, especially for the ground-state transition. Some of the properties of the corresponding levels in the ¹⁵O compound nucleus remain uncertain, which affects the uncertainty in extrapolating the capture cross section to the low energy range of astrophysical interest. Purpose: The ¹⁴N (p, γ) ¹⁵O cross section can be described by using the phenomenological R matrix. Over the energy range of interest, only the proton and γ-raymore »« less

Snyder et al., Phys. Rev. C 88, 031303(R) (2013)]. Purpose: Search for the predicted Be-15 3/2(+) state in the three-neutron decay channel.
