The tensor force in heavy nuclei: High momentum collectivity of unnatural parity excitations

Abstract

The possibility of collectivity at high momentum transfer in unnatural parity states in finite nuclei, is outlined. This phenomenon is produced by the strong tensor force in the one pion exchange interaction operating coherently in a large oscillator space. The collectivity is observed at momentaq∼(2-3)m π corresponding to the critical momentum of pion condensation. If existent, such collective behaviour is expected to be seen in differential cross sections, e.g. for proton inelastic scattering, leading to unnatural parity states.
