Faculty of Science. Dept. of Physics. Dissertations -- Physics Theses -- Physics Hyperfragments Weak interactions (Nuclear physics) Thesis (MSc (Physics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. In this thesis we present a relativistic formalism for the description of hypernuclei production via the weak interaction. It will be shown that the cross section can be written as the contraction of a leptonic and hadronic tensor if we model the interaction as a quasifree process. The hadronic tensor is written in a model-independent way in terms of thirteen nuclear structure functions. A Born term model is used to describe the underlying elementary hyperon production process. The bound state wave functions of the hyperon and nucleon are calculated within a relativistic mean-field approximation. Together with the relativistic kinematics a fully relativistic framework for experimental predictions is constructed and a specific cross section calculation is discussed. 2008-01-21T07:40:56Z 2010-06-01T08:51:59Z 2008-01-21T07:40:56Z 2010-06-01T08:51:59Z 2007-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2550 en University of Stellenbosch 580925 bytes application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
