Spectroscopic Factors in Ca and Pb from : Fully Relativistic Analysis
We present results for spectroscopic factors of the outermost shells in
Ca and Pb, which have been derived from the comparison between
the available quasielastic () data from NIKHEF-K and the corresponding
calculated cross-sections obtained within a fully relativistic formalism. We
include exactly the effect of Coulomb distortion on the electron wave functions
and discuss its role in the extraction of the spectroscopic factors from
experiment. Without any adjustable parameter, we find spectroscopic factors of
about 70\%, consistent with theoretical predictions. We compare our results
with previous relativistic and nonrelativistic analyses of () data. In
addition to Coulomb distortion effects we discuss different choices of the
nucleon current operator and also analyze the effects due to the relativistic
treatment of the outgoing-distorted and bound nucleon wave functions.Comment: 9 pages RevTeX, 5 figures can be obtained from the author
Relativistic versus Nonrelativistic Optical Potentials in A(e,e'p)B Reactions
We investigate the role of relativistic and nonrelativistic optical
potentials used in the analysis of () data. We find that the
relativistic calculations produce smaller () cross sections even in the
case in which both relativistic and nonrelativistic optical potentials fit
equally well the elastic proton--nucleus scattering data. Compared to the
nonrelativistic impulse approximation, this effect is due to a depletion in the
nuclear interior of the relativistic nucleon current, which should be taken
into account in the nonrelativistic treatment by a proper redefinition of the
effective current operator.Comment: Added one new figure, the formalism section has been enlarged and the
