The 3He transverse electron scattering response function R_T(q,omega) is calculated in the quasi-elastic peak region and beyond for momentum transfers q = 500, 600 and 700 MeV/c. Distinct from our previous work for these kinematics where we included meson exchange currents and relativistic corrections we now additionally include Delta isobar currents (Delta-IC). The Delta-IC contribution increases the quasi-elastic peak height by about 5% and leads to an excellent agreement with experimental data in the whole peak region. In addition it is shown that effects due to the three-nucleon force largely cancel those due to the Delta-IC in the peak region. Finally, we have found that Delta-IC are important for three-body break-up reactions in the so-called dip region. This could explain why in a previous study of such a reaction, where Delta degrees of freedom were not included, no agreement between experimental and theoretical results could be obtained.

We present a unified relativistic approach to inclusive electron scattering based on the relativistic Fermi gas model and on a phenomenological extension of it which accounts for the superscaling behaviour of $(e,e)$ data. We present results in the $Delta$ resonance region and in the highly inelastic domain and show some application to neutrino scattering.
We present theoretical predictions for electron scattering on the N = 14, 20, and 28 isotonic chains from proton-deficient to proton-rich nuclei. The calculations are performed within the framework of the distorted-wave Born approximation and the proton and neutron density distributions are evaluated adopting a Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) approach with a density dependent meson-exchange interaction. We present results for the elastic and quasi-elastic cross sections and for the parity-violating asymmetry parameter. Owing to the correlations between the evolution of the electric charge form factors along each chain with the underlying proton shell structure of the isotones, elastic electron scattering experiments on isotones can provide useful informations about the occupation and filling of the single-particle levels of protons.
We report observables for elastic Compton scattering from $^3$He in Chiral Effective Field Theory with an explicit $Delta(1232)$ degree of freedom ($chi$EFT) for energies between 50 and 120 MeV. The $gamma,{}^3$He amplitude is complete at N3LO, $mathcal{O}(e^2delta^3)$, and in general converges well order by order. It includes the dominant pion-loop and two-body currents, as well as the Delta excitation in the single-nucleon amplitude. Since the cross section is two to three times that for deuterium and the spin of polarised $^3$He is predominantly carried by its constituent neutron, elastic Compton scattering promises information on both the scalar and spin polarisabilities of the neutron. We study in detail the sensitivities of 4 observables to the neutron polarisabilities: the cross section, the beam asymmetry and two double asymmetries resulting from circularly polarised photons and a longitudinally or transversely polarised target. Including the Delta enhances those asymmetries from which neutron spin polarisabilities could be extracted. We also correct previous, erroneous results at N2LO, i.e.~without an explicit Delta, and compare to the same observables on proton, neutron and deuterium targets. An interactive Mathematica notebook of our results is available from [email protected].
We calculate transverse response functions for quasi-elastic electron scattering at high momentum transfers in a relativistic Hartree approximation in configuration space. We treat the excitation of the $Delta$ resonance using its free mass and width. Good agreement with experiment is found in the dip region.
The absorption of pi^+ on ^3He in the $Delta$-region is evaluated with exact inclusion of the final state interaction among the three emerging protons. The absorption is described by a $pi N to Delta$ vertex and a $NDelta - NN$ transition t-matrix which are calculated from a phenomenological model for NN and pi d reactions. In a calculation where the initial pion scattering effects are neglected, the predicted peaks of the pion absorption cross sections for ^2H and ^3He lie too high in energy in relation to the data. The effect of the final state three-nucleon interaction turns out to be too small for changing the magnitude and shifting the peak position of the total absorption cross section for ^3He. We demonstrate that the adjustment of the peak position for the deuteron cross section by small modifications of the $Delta$-parameters, automatically leads to the correct peak position in ^3He.
