«Target mass» and «effective target mass»

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The concept of « target mass » and « effective target mass » is discussed. Evidence is presented which questions the validity of attempting to relate the « effective target mass » to the concept of a virtual pion surrounding the nucleon. Eelations between the 4-momentum transfer, the quantity (E — P cos θ) of the recoil nucleon and the « effective target mass » are derived which show in conjunction with experimental data that the « effective target mass » of the order of a pion mass occurs accidentally.

Riassunto

Si discutono i concetti di « massa del bersaglio » e « massa eflettiva del bersaglio ». Si presentano argomenti che mettono in dubbio la validità del tentativo di mettere in relazione la « massa effettiva del bersaglio » col concetto di un pione virtuale che circondi il nucleone. Si deducono relazioni fra il quadrimomento trasferito, la quantità (E — P cos θ) del nucleone di rinculo e la «massa eflettiva del bersaglio», le quali, in unione ai dati sperimentali, mostrano che una « massa eflettiva del bersaglio » dell’ordino délia massa del pione si ha accidentalmente.
