ABSTRACT

In the calculation of the K+-nucleus cross sections, the coupling of the mesons exchanged between the K+ and the target nucleons to the polarization of the Fermi and Dirac seas has been taken into account. This polarization has been calculated in the one-loop approximation but summed up to all orders (RPA approximation). For this calculation a density-dependent relativistic NN interaction reproducing the saturation curve of a Dirac-Brueckner calculation providing a good description of nuclear matter has been used. The agreement with experiment is considerably improved.

• ##### Article: Relativistic RPA response functions for quasielastic electron scattering with a density-dependent NN interaction
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The longitudinal and transverse response functions as well as the Coulomb sum for quasielastic electron scattering on 12C, 40Ca, 48Ca, 56Fe and 208Pb have been calculated taking into account relativistic RPA correlations. For these calculations a density-dependent relativistic NN interaction reproducing the saturation curve of a Dirac-Brueckner calculation providing a good description of nuclear matter has been used. The agreement with experiment is considerably improved for nuclei ranging from 40Ca to 208Pb, but not for a relatively light nucleus like 12C.

[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the calculation of the ${\mathit{K}}^{+}$ nucleus total cross sections, the coupling of the mesons exchanged between the ${\mathit{K}}^{+}$ and the target nucleons to the polarization of the Fermi and Dirac seas has been taken into account in the random-phase approximation. The agreement with experiment is improved for nuclei ranging from $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ to $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$ but not for a light dilute nucleus like $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$. The dependence of the cross sections on the target nucleon number is analyzed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

• ##### Article: K^{+} nucleus reaction and total cross sections: New analysis of transmission experiments
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The attenuation cross sections measured in transmission experiments at the alternating-gradient synchrotron for K+ on 6Li, C, Si, and Ca at pL = 488, 531, 656, and 714 MeV/c are reanalyzed in order to derive total (σT) and reaction (σR) cross sections. The effect of plural (Molière) scattering is properly accounted for, leading to revised values of σT. We demonstrate the model dependence of these values, primarily due to the choice of K+ nuclear optical potential used to generate the necessary Coulomb-nuclear and nuclear elastic corrections. Values of σR are also derived, for the first time, from the same data and exhibit a remarkable degree of model independence. The derived values of σT and σR exceed those calculated by the first-order tρ optical potential for C, Si, and Ca, but not for 6Li, particularly at 656 and 714 MeV/c where the excess is 10–25%. Relative to 6Li, this excess is found to be nearly energy independent and its magnitude of 15–25% is not reproduced by any nuclear medium effect studied so far.
