A nonrelativistic operator for pion electroproduction

Abstract: In this paper, a nonrelativistic operator for pion electroproduction from nuclei is presented. It approximates a combination of pseudovector Born plus Δ-resonance diagrams using a method that does not break up the nucleon propagators into their positive and negative energy parts as was done in previous efforts. This result gives an operator that maintains its gauge-invariance cancellations exactly. Comparisons are made with a sample of photoproduction and electroproduction data.

“…Even though the cause of this problem can be understood and addressed when one consistently deals with the origin of the internal structure, most authors reverted to a variety of ad hoc recipes to restore gauge invariance in Born-type amplitudes: terms are added by hand or form factors are adjusted to yield a conserved current. In pion electroproduction, for example, a commonly made assumption for this purpose is that the pion and nucleon isovector form factors are identical [8][9][10]. Similary, both the pion-pole term and the nucleon-pole term, which is needed for gauge invariance, are proportional to the pion form factor in the model [11,12] used to analyze the data in Ref.…”

“…Events are generated by convoluting an elementary process on a nucleon or a quasi-deuteron with the Fermi motion of the interacting system within the "C nucleus. As elementary cross sections we use the Rosenbluth formula for 'H(e, e'p) and the Dressler formalism [38] for pion production. The (e, e' p)n cross section is estimated from the ( y, pn) photo-dissociation strength as parametrized by Rossi et al [39].…”
