One-pion exchange current effects on magnetic form factor in the relativistic formalism

Abstract

One-pion exchange current effects on the magnetic form factors of some odd nuclei are studied in the relativistic formalism. The Dirac wave functions of nucleons are calculated from the relativistic mean-field theory. After fitting to experimental data by quenching factors, it is found that taking the one-pion exchange currents into account gives a better description of the magnetic form factor. The root-mean-square radii of the valance nucleon orbits are also calculated in RMF model, which coincide with experimental radii extracted with meson exchange current corrections.
