Baryon-resonance production by neutrinos

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The production of the 3/2, 3/2 resonance by neutrinos incident on nucleons is considered in the framework of the Rarita-Schwinger formalism for spin-f particles. With the help of the conserved vector theory, and the Goldberger-Treiman relation, the value of certain coefficients is estimated. Wherever information is lacking, the static theory is used. The interaction determined in this way is then used to obtain total cross-sections. The result is that the total cross-section on complex nuclei as function of neutrino energy behaves similarly to, but is in absolute value larger than, the elastic process cross-section. Properties of the spin-3/2 density matrix under the combined assumptions of time-reversal invariance and Born approximation are derived and the general expression for the angular distribution of the decay pion in theN* rest frame is given.

Riassunto

Si studia, nel quadro del formalismo di Karita-Schwinger per le particelle aventi spin 3/2, la produzione della risonanza 3/2, 3/2 da parte di neutrini incidenti su nuoleoni. Con l’aiuto della teoria del vettore conservato e della relazione di Goldberger-Treiman, si stima il valore di alouni coefficienti. Dove mancano le informazioni si usa la teoria statica. Si usa poi l’interazione determinata in tal modo per ottenere la sezione d’urto totale. Risulta che la sezione d’urto totale su nuclei complessi in funzione dell’energia del neutrino si comporta in modo simile alla sezione d’urto del processo elastico, ma in valore assoluto ne è maggiore. Si deducono le proprietà della matrice di densità dello spin 3/2 nell’ipotesi combinate della invarianza all’inversione del tempo e della approssimazione di Born e si dà l’espressione generale della distribuzione angolare del pione di decadimento nel sistema in quiete delN*.
