A finite-momentum-transfer test of CVC in the A = 12 system
Abstract
A finite-momentum-transfer test of CVC is given by analyzing the latest experimental data in the A = 12 system in the elementary particle treatment of nuclei. The test is completely model independent and is based on the fact that nuclear form factors are relatively rapidly varying functions of q2. It is shown that the electromagnetic and weak nuclear form factors in the A = 12 system have, as predicted by CVC, the same q2 dependence within ~ 6%, at least up to q2 ~ mμ2.
