Abstract

Using recent experimental results on Compton scattering by 208Pb at energies below pion threshold we explore the effects of enhancement due to mesonic currents and isovector vibrations on the giant resonances of nuclei. Quantitative information is given for the enhancements of the electric polarizability, the diamagnetic susceptibility and the energy-weighted quadrupole sum rule. It is shown that the average of results available from different laboratories on the “nonretarded” enhancement constant KGDR in the A = 197–209 mass range favours an effective nucleon mass of mm = 34. Some new results for the amplitude of Compton scattering by the giant resonances of nuclei are presented which allow a treatment of the retardation problem in a zero-order approximation.

      Our concept, therefore, is to first consider forward and backward scattering and then to develop the tools to cover also intermediate angles. The sum rule given in (50) was first derived by Baldin [10] and later discussed in more detail by Lapidus [59]. It, therefore, appears justified [3] to call it the “BL” sum rule.

      One disadvantage is that these new vacua are less familiar than the building blocks of Fermi liquid theory, thus making it desirable to build bridges between these different aspects of nuclear matter. The most recent works going into this direction are those of Brown [96], Friman and Rho [97], Brown and Rho [98] and Rho [273]. In the previous sections phenomenological approaches have been applied in order to obtain the angular dependence of the Compton scattering amplitude.
