Momentum distributions in the nucleus

The nuclear form factor F(q) and one particle momentum distribution rho(q) can be shown to have a power law decrease for large momenta. For the form factor F(q) it is shown that it is q/A that must be large for this asymptotic behavior to be important. For only q large the form factor, in a simple model, is shown to decrease exponentially in q. A similar behavior for rho(q) is proposed. (Auth.)
