Extracting the nuclear charge distribution from electron scattering
ORAL
Abstract
A phase shift calculation of the nuclear form factor for various nuclei-- Carbon-12, Aluminum-27, Calcium-48, Iron-56, Copper-63, and Lead-208 -- was done for energies of 4.4 GeV, 3.85 GeV, 3.3 GeV, 2.75 GeV, 2.2 GeV, 1.65 GeV, 1.1 GeV, and 0.55 GeV. The charge distribution was then reconstructed using an inverse Fourier transform based on Bessel functions. An estimate of the changes in the charge density due to dispersive effects was also investigated from the ratio between the original form-factor and the adjusted form-factor. The results from this study will be presented.
