Abstract

The differential elastic-scattering cross section of longitudinally polarized electrons by nuclei of arbitrary spin and isospin is calculated in the Born approximation, taking into account the interference of electromagnetic interaction and the interaction of weak neutral currents. For a nucleus of spin J ⩽ 3/2, explicit expressions are obtained for the interference terms in terms of the electromagnetic multipole form factors FC, fQ, fM1 and fM3. Using the example of the3He,11B,19F and40Ca nuclei, the behavior of electrically weak asymmetry of the cross section is investigated in detail in the framework of three gauge models. It is shown that the asymmetry of aRl is ∼10−5 for E ∼- 100 MeV, and is sensitive to the nuclear structure: By taking into account the contributions not only of the charge and magnetic-dipole scattering but also of the quadrupole and octupole scattering, one can obtain additional information on the structure of weak electron-nucleus interaction.
