Correlation effects on the weak response of nuclear matter

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-06 v1

Abstract

The consistent description of the nuclear response at low and high momentum transfer requires a unified dynamical model, suitable to account for both short- and long-range correlation effects. We report the results of a study of the charged current weak response of symmetric nuclear matter, carried out using an effective interaction obtained from a realistic model of the nucleon-nucleon force within the formalism of correlated basis functions. Our approach allows for a clear identification of the kinematical regions in which different interaction effects dominate.
