Effects of the Neutron Spin-Orbit Density on Nuclear Charge Density in Relativistic Models

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-06 v1

Abstract

The neutron spin-orbit density contributes to the nuclear charge density as a relativistic effect. The contribution is enhanced by the effective mass stemming from the Lorentz-scalar potential in relativistic models. This enhancement explains well the difference between the cross sections of elastic electron scattering off 40^{40}Ca and 48^{48}Ca which was not reproduced in non-relativistic models. The spin-orbit density will be examined in more detail in electron scattering off unstable nuclei which would be available in the future.
