Scattering of Polarized Electrons by Light Nuclei of Half-Integer Spin

A differential cross section is obtained for the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons by polarized nuclei with spin 1/2, allowing for anapole and electric dipole moments, as along with form factors of the weak neutral current of a nucleus. Asymmetries of the differential cross section in the helicity of incident and scattered electrons are determined and analyzed: right–left asymmetry and the longitudinal polarization of scattered electrons, along with the corresponding double spin asymmetries. © 2018, Allerton Press, Inc.
