Parameters of Fermi-motion from Quasielastic Backward Pion-Proton Scattering on Nuclei

Abstract

In experiment on the study of the quasielastic pion-proton scattering at large momentum transfer on nuclei the proton Fermi-momentum distributions have been analysed in plane-wave approximation for light nuclei $^6$Li, $^7$Li and $^{12}$C. It was found that, contrary to (e,e') experiments, that the oscillator model gives slightly better description of our data than the Fermi - gas model. But the values of parameters of the distributions obtained in our analysis are considerably smaller, than in (e,e') experiments. It gives evidence that the plane-wave approximation is not sufficient and more complicated theoretical models which take into account the effects of distortion of pion-nucleon amplitude in a nuclear medium are necessary for analysis of our data.
