Polarization transfer in the O-16((e)over-right-arrow,e '(p)over-right-arrow)N-15 reaction

The first ((e) over right arrow ,e'(p) over right arrow) polarization transfer measurements on a nucleus heavier than deuterium have been carried out at Jefferson Laboratory. Transverse and longitudinal components of the polarization of protons ejected in the reaction O-16((e) over right arrow ,e'(p) over right arrow) were measured in quasielastic perpendicular kinematics at a Q(2) of 0.8 (GeV/c)(2). The data are in good agreement with state of the art calculations
