A-dependence of hadronization in nuclei

The A-dependence of models for the attenuation of hadron production in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering on a nucleus is investigated for realistic matter distributions. It is shown that the dependence for a pure partonic (absorption) mechanism is more complicated than a simple $A^{2/3}$ ($A^{1/3}$) behavior, commonly found when using rectangular or Gaussian distributions, but that the A-dependence may still be indicative for the dominant mechanism of hadronization.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Doprinosi dodatnih raspršenja međudjelovanju u konačnom stanju u (e, e ˇ ′p) reakcijama

A semiclassical model is employed to study the effects of rescattering on (e,e˘p) cross sections. We consider a two-step process with the propagation of an intermediate nucleon and use Glauber theory to account for the effects of N-N scattering. This calculation has relevance for the analysis of data at high missing energies. Of particular interest is the E97-006 experiment done at JLab. It is found that rescattering is strongly reduced in parallel kinematics and that the excitation of nucleon resonances is likely to give important contributions to the final-state interactions in the correlated region.Primjenjujemo poluklasičan model za proučavanje učinaka dodatnih raspršenja u udarnim presjecima reakcija (e,e′p). Razmatramo dvostruki proces s gibanjem međunukleona, a učinke N–N raspršenja uključujemo prema Glauberovoj teoriji. Ovi su računi važni za analize podataka pri velikim manjkovima energije.

The 4^4He(e,e′p)(e,e'p) Cross Section at Large Missing Energy

The $(e,e'p)$ reaction on $^{4}{He}$ nuclei was studied in kinematics designed to emphasize effects of nuclear short-range correlations. The measured cross sections display a peak in the kinematical regions where two-nucleon processes are expected to dominate. Theoretical models incorporating short-range correlation effects agree reasonably with the data.Comment: 4 pages LaTeX, using espcrc1.sty and wrapfig.sty (included), two figures. Talk presented by J.

A consistent analysis of (e,e'p) and (d,3He) experiments

The apparent discrepancy between spectroscopic factors obtained in (e,e'p) and (d,3He) experiments is investigated. This is performed first for 48Ca(e,e'p) and 48Ca(d,3He) experiments and then for other nuclei. It is shown that the discrepancy disappears if the (d,3He) experiments are re-analyzed with a non-local finite range DWBA analysis with a bound-state wave function that is obtained from (e,e'p) experiments.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figure

Validity of the distorted-wave impulse-approximation description of 40{}^{40}Ca(e,e′p)39(e,e'p)^{39}K data using only ingredients from a nonlocal dispersive optical model

The nonlocal implementation of the dispersive optical model (DOM) provides all the ingredients for distorted-wave impulse-approximation (DWIA) calculations of the $(e,e'p)$ reaction. It provides both the overlap function, including its normalization, and the outgoing proton distorted wave. This framework is applied to describe the knockout of a proton from the $0\textrm{d}\frac{3}{2}$ and $1\textrm{s}\frac{1}{2}$ orbitals in ${}^{40}$Ca with fixed normalizations of 0.71 and 0.60, respectively. Data were obtained in parallel kinematics for three outgoing proton energies: 70, 100, and 135 MeV. Agreement with the data is as good as, or better than, previous descriptions employing local optical potentials and overlap functions from Woods-Saxon potentials - both with standard nonlocality corrections - whose normalization (spectroscopic factor) and radius were fitted to the data. The present analysis suggests that slightly larger spectroscopic factors are obtained when nonlocal optical potentials are employed than those generated with local potentials. The results further suggest that the chosen kinematical window around 100 MeV proton energy provides the best and cleanest method to employ the DWIA for the analysis of this reaction. The conclusion that substantial ground-state correlations cannot be ignored when describing a closed-shell atomic nucleus is therefore confirmed in detail. To reach these conclusions, it is essential to have a complete description of the nucleon single-particle propagator that accounts for all elastic nucleon-scattering observables in a wide energy domain up to 200 MeV. The current nonlocal implementation of the DOM fulfills this requirement.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figure

Effect of kinematics on final state interactions in (e,e'p) reactions

Recent data from experiment E97-006 at TJNAF using the 12C(e,e'p) reaction at very large missing energies and momenta are compared to a calculation of two-step rescattering. A comparison between parallel and perpendicular kinematics suggests that the effects of final state interactions can be strongly reduced in the former case.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, submitted to LP

Single particle strength restoration and nuclear transparency in high Q^2 exclusive (e,e'p) reactions

Quenching of the single particle strength which previously precluded unambiguous measurement of nuclear transparency in quasifree (e,e'p) reactions at high momentum transfer is evaluated from the cross sections of measured processes. We have demonstrated evidence of the single particle strength restoration with increase of the momentum transfer in exclusive (e,e'p) reactions and argue that in practically interesting cases of study the nuclear transparency in these processes quenching is weakly depends on the probability of short range nucleon correlations. It is shown that use of Glauber approximation well describes NE18 and E94-139 (e,e'p) data at the momentum transfers 1 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 3 GeV^2. This gives a further support to our observation that the quenching of nuclear levels strongly depends on the resolution (Q^2)and practically disappears at Q^2>1GeV^2.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures; references added, discussion extende

Nuclear structure studies with the 7Li(e,e'p) reaction

Experimental momentum distributions for the transitions to the ground state and first excited state of 6He have been measured via the reaction 7Li(e,e'p)6He, in the missing momentum range from -70 to 260 MeV/c. They are compared to theoretical distributions calculated with mean-field wave functions and with variational Monte Carlo (VMC) wave functions which include strong state-dependent correlations in both 7Li and 6He. These VMC calculations provide a parameter-free prediction of the momentum distribution that reproduces the measured data, including its normalization. The deduced summed spectroscopic factor for the two transitions is 0.58 +/- 0.05, in perfect agreement with the VMC value of 0.60. This is the first successful comparison of experiment and ab initio theory for spectroscopic factors in p-shell nuclei.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
