Description:
Author(s): A. Lovato, S. Gandolfi, J. Carlson, Steven C. Pieper, and R. Schiavilla The authors calculate a b - i n i t i o quasi-elastic electromagnetic and neutral-weak response functions for A = 4 and A = 12 nuclei by using realistic nuclear two- and three-body forces and one- and two-body electroweak currents, in combination with quantum Monte Carlo methods and maximum-entropy techniques. In the electromagnetic case, their novel approach allows a direct comparison with experimental data. The results challenge the conventional picture that quasi-elastic inclusive scattering is dominated by single-nucleon knockout. [Phys. Rev. C 91, 062501(R)] Published Thu Jun 04, 2015
