Matter systems condensation nuclei

Here, (...) = J2pn ri. .. ri) is the appropriate combinedquantal and thermodynamic average (over the classical probabilities pn) related with the condensed matter system. M and n(p) are the mass and momentum distribution of the scattering nucleus, respectively, and ior = q2 /2 M is the recoil energy. For convenience, h = 1. Eq. (2) is of central importance in most NCS experiments, since it relates the SCS directly to the momentum distribution. Furthermore, n(p) is related to the nuclear wave function by Fourier transform and therefore, to the spatial localization of the nucleus. It takes into account the fact that, if the scattering nucleus has a momentum distribution in its ground state, the 5-function centered at uor will be Doppler broadened.
