Electron scattering from <sup>12</sup>C in the Short-Time-Approximation

ORAL

Abstract

Quantum Monte Carlo methods, together with the phenomenological potentials Argonne v18 and Urbana-IX, are used to obtain accurate nuclear wave functions and evaluate the interaction of nuclei with external electromagnetic probes.

Using the short time approximation we evaluate longitudinal and transverse response densities and functions in A≤12 nuclei. Our approach consistently retains two-body physics both in the nuclear interaction and the electromagnetic currents.

In addition to these results, we will present various nucleon-nucleon kinematics relevant for experiments currently conducted, e.g. at JLAB, and the relative contributions to the responses coming from nn, pp and nn pairs.
