Abstract
We invoke the formalism developed by Krajcik and Foldy to consistently treat recoil effects in the relativistically corrected impulse approximation in the presence of a local central potential. It is stressed that recoil effects in the case of the single-particle Dirac Hamiltonian are considerably different from those suitable for the Foldy-Wouthuysen diagonalized Hamiltonian. It is also found that, for the diagonalized Hamiltonian, intuitive arguments may result in an incorrect sign for certain terms as in a preceding paper. As an illustrative numerical example, we use the resultant formulae to determine the magnetic moment and charge radius of the N15 nucleus. © 1985 The American Physical Society.
