Three-body Force Effects on the Longitudinal Response Function of⁴He

Abstract

Abstract. In this contribution we summarize recent results on the longitudinal response function of 4 He. It is intended to give an important contribution to one of the most interesting and much discussed topics in nuclear physics at present, i.e. the nuclear many-body forces. The longitudinal response is considered as a possible observable, involving many body scattering states, sensitive to the three-nucleon force (3NF). Such a sensitivity is predicted by ab initio calculations performed using the Lorentz Integral transform (LIT) method. The kinematics that are more interesting to measure are discussed.

Electromagnetic Observables in Few-Nucleon Systems

“…In Refs. [11,12] we performed for the first time a calculation of R L at different q values with different realistic potentials. We found that the experimental results are better described by theory if one includes 3NF , as one can see from Fig.…”
