Abstract
Magnetic form factors from odd-A spherical and deformed nuclei corresponding to elastic electron scattering are calculated in the plane-wave Born approximation. The nuclear structure of the target is described within a deformed self-consistent mean-field calculation with effective interactions of Skyrme type and pairing correlations in the BCS approximation. We focus our attention to stable nuclei where experimental information is available. It is shown that the deformed formalism improves the agreement with experiment in deformed nuclei, while reproducing equally well spherical nuclei by taking properly the spherical limit of the deformed model. Effects of the collective rotation and nucleon-nucleon correlations are also studied. These results demonstrate the ability of the method to address electron scattering from unstable nuclei to be measured in future experiments on electron-ion beam colliders.
Highlights
Electron scattering has been shown in the past to be a powerful tool for studying the electromagnetic properties of nuclei
We have chosen for this study several nuclei 17O, 25Mg, 41Ca, and 59Co for which experimental information on elastic magnetic electron scattering form factors is available
We can see from the figures that correlations beyond the mean-field picture are needed to account for the behavior at high momentum transfer and that the natural orbitals (NOs) representation is a convenient way to deal with these correlations
Summary
Electron scattering has been shown in the past to be a powerful tool for studying the electromagnetic properties of nuclei. Magnetic form factors from odd-A spherical and deformed nuclei corresponding to elastic electron scattering are calculated in the plane-wave Born approximation. Magnetic electron scattering would provide information on the single-particle properties of the valence nuclear wave function.
