Rotational Invariance In Nuclear Light-Front Mean Field Theory

Nuclear Theory 2010-11-19 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

A light-front treatment for spherical nuclei is developed from a relativistic effective Lagrangian and employing the mean field approximation. Minimizing the nuclear minus momentum subject to the constraint that, in the rest frame, the expectation values of the plus- and minus-momenta are the same leads to a formalism in which rotational invariance is recovered.
