Abstract:
The splitting between the charge-longitudinal and spin-transverse responses is explained in a model whose inputs are the effective interactions in the particle-hole channels in the frame of the first order boson loop expansion. It is shown that the interplay between -meson exchange and box diagrams (two-meson exchange with simultaneous excitation of one or two nucleons to 's) mainly rules the longitudinal response, while in the transverse one the direct excitations almost cancel the one-loop correction and the response is mainly governed by the -meson rescattering inside the nucleus. It is also shown that a small variation in the nuclear densities may explain the observed discrepancies between different nuclei.Note:
