Investigations of the structure and electromagnetic interactions of few-body systems
Abstract
The structure and electromagnetic interactions of few body systems were investigated. The structural properties of the very light nuclei are examined by developing theoretical models that begin from the basic interactions between the constituents and that are solved exactly (numerically), i.e., full three or four body dynamics. Such models are then used in an attempt to understand the details of the strong and electromagnetic interactions of the few nucleon nuclei after the basic underlying reaction mechanisms are understood with simpler models. Examples of specific work proposed are the following: (1) from exact four body dynamics, derive the equations that will permit calculation of the (4)He(YIELDS) (3)He+n and (4)He(YIELDS)d+d asymptotic normalization constants; (2) develop a unified picture of the p + d (YIELDS) (3)He = (GAMMA), p + d (YIELDS) (3)He = (PI) (0), p + d (YIELDS) and inelastic (1(+)(YIELDS)0(0)) form factors for (6)Li with three body ((ALPHA)NN) wave functions; (4) calculate static properties (RMS radius, magnetic moment, and quadrupole moment) of (6)Li with three body wave functions; and (5) develop the theory for the coincidence reactions (6)Li(p,2p)n(ALPHA), (6)Li(e,e'p)n(ALPHA), and (6)Li(e,e'd) (ALPHA).
