A Model for BCS-Type Correlations in Superscaling
arXiv:0807.1292 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.78.024602
Abstract
Using ideas from BCS descriptions of systems of fermions, a covariant extension of the relativistic Fermi gas model is presented as a way to incorporate correlation effects in nuclei. The model is developed for the BCS nuclear ground state and for final states consisting of a single plane-wave nucleon plus a BCS recoiling daughter nucleus. The nuclear spectral function is obtained and from it the superscaling function for use in treating high-energy quasielastic electroweak processes. Interestingly, this model has the capability to yield the asymmetric tail seen in the experimental scaling function.
