The swelling of nucleons in nuclei and the Roper resonance

  • 1. Paris-11 Univ., 91 - Orsay (France). Div. de Physique Theorique

Description

Conditions where some swelling of the nucleon occurs, and, in particular the relation of this effect with the attractive character of the force acting on it, are studied. It is found that short range repulsive correlations can turn the swelling into a shrinking, in spite of a globally attractive interaction, whereas repulsive velocity dependent forces can lead to some swelling. The role of the Roper resonance in this nucleon change of size is considered in some detail. (orig.)
