Elastic Scattering of High Energy Electrons from Deuterium


Book Description

The purposes of the present work are: (1) To investigate the method of elastic electron-deuteron scattering by detection of the recoil target nucleus. (2) To evaluate existing theory for the scattering process in light of the recent advances in understanding nucleon structure and the nuclear force. (3) To provide experimental data at values of the momentum transfer where none had previously existed. Some fundamental preliminary considerations are discussed in Chapter II. Chapter III contains a summary of theoretical aspects of the problem and results of calculation. Some basic experimental questions are answered in Chapter IV. In Chapter V the experimental apparatus is described. The data, method of analysis, and corrections are discussed in Chapter VI. In the last chapter a comparison of the experimental results with theoretical predictions is made, and conclusions and suggestions for further work are given.







Modern Topics in Electron Scattering


Book Description

This book summarizes the considerable progress recently achieved in the understanding of nucleon and nuclear structure by using high energy electrons as a probe. A collection of papers discusses in detail the new frontiers of this field. Experimental and theoretical articles cover topics such as the structure of the nucleon, nucleon distributions, many-body correlations, non-nucleonic degrees of freedom and few-body systems. This book is an up-to-date introduction to the research planned with continuous beam electron accelerators.







Experimental Evidence for a Possible Meson-exchange Contribution to Elastic Electron-deuteron Scattering


Book Description

Measurements of magnetic (elastic) electron-deuteron cross sections at q-sq = 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 12.0 1/F-sq. Electric scattering was also observed at these q-sq values, as well as at one additional point (q-sq = 20.0 1/F-sq). An analysis of these data definitely indicates that ahe simple impulse approximation model of the deuteron, incorporating the best possible values for the nucleon form factors, is inadequate to explain the experimental results.




New Vistas in Electro-Nuclear Physics


Book Description

The NATO Advanced Study Institute "New Vistas in Electro-Nuclear Physics" was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada from August 22 to September 4, 1985. This volume con tains the lecture notes from that Institute. The idea to organize this Institute coincided with the award of funding for a pulse stretcher ring at the University of Saskatchewan's Linear Accelerator Laboratory. This together with the high level of interest in electron accelerators worldwide convinced us that it was an appropriate time to discuss the physics to be learned with such machines. In particular that physics which requires high energy and/or high duty cycle accelerators for its extraction was intended to be the focus of the Institute. Thus the scope of the lec tures was wide, with topics ranging from the structure of the trinucleons to quark models of nucleons, QCD, and QHD. The theme however was that we are just trying to under stand the nucleus and that the electromagnetic probe can serve as a powerful tool in such a quest.




Electron-nucleus Scattering - Proceedings Of The Workshop


Book Description

The workshop aimed to gather the electron scattering community to assess the present status of the experimental and theoretical research program at the electron scattering facilities that will be available in the near future. The topics discussed include nucleon form factors and deep inelastic structure functions, electro-production of nucleon resonances, final state interactions and nucleon-nucleon correlations in nuclei, electron-nucleon scattering with polarized beams and targets and nuclear transparency.
