Polarization degrees of freedom in two-nucleon knockout from finite nuclei

Abstract

Polarization observables for the A(e,e'NN) and A(\gamma,NN) reactions are a powerful tool to study nucleon-nucleon correlations in the nuclear medium. In this paper, model calculations for the ^{4}He(e,e'pp), ^{16}O(\vec{e},e'\vec{p}p), ^{16}O(\vec{e},e' \vec{p}n) and ^{12}C(\vec{\gamma},\vec{p}N) reactions are presented. The sensitivity of the differential cross sections and polarization observables to central and spin-dependent nucleon-nucleon correlations is discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 10 (color) figures, Talk Presented at the the Fourth Workshop on Electromagnetically Induced Two-Hadron Emission, Granada (Spain), May 26-29, 199
