The consistent analyses for determination of the point-nucleon distributions by electron and proton scatterings

TL;DR

This paper proposes a method to analyze electron and proton scattering data consistently to more accurately determine point-proton and point-neutron distributions in nuclei, reducing ambiguity in their extraction.

Contribution

It introduces a consistent analysis framework that utilizes moments of charge distribution to separately determine point-proton and point-neutron distributions.

Findings

Consistent analysis reduces ambiguity in distribution determination

Moments of charge distribution linearly relate to point distributions

Method improves accuracy of nuclear structure insights

Abstract

Electron scattering cross section, as well as proton scattering cross section, observes the point-proton and the point-neutron distributions, but both cross sections are not able to determine them separately. If they are analyzed consistently with each other, there is a possibility to determine them with less ambiguity.The consistency can be examined through the moments of the charge distribution, which linearly depend on the moments of the point-proton and -neutron distributions.
