Analysis of factorization in (e,e′p) reactions: A survey of the relativistic plane wave impulse approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
The issue of factorization within the context of coincidence quasi–elastic electron scattering is reviewed. Using a relativistic formalism for the entire reaction mechanism and restricting ourselves to the case of plane waves for the outgoing proton, we discuss the meaning of factorization in the cross section and the role of the small components of the bound nucleon wave function.

Unfactorized versus factorized calculations for 2 H ( e ,
In the literature, one often finds calculations of (e, ep) reactions at GeV energies using the factorization approach. Factorization implies that the differential cross section can be written as the product of an off-shell electron-proton cross section and a distorted missing momentum distribution. While this factorization appears in the non-relativistic plane wave impulse approximation, it is ...

متن کاملRelativity in polarized electron scattering observables
Coincidence scattering of polarized electrons from nuclei with polarization transfer to outgoing nucleons is studied within the context of relativistic mean field theory. Effects introduced by the dynamical enhancement of the lower components of the bound and scattered nucleon wave functions are analyzed for the polarized response functions and transferred polarization asymmetries. Results obta...
متن کاملRelativistically generated asymmetry in the missing-momentum distribution from the (e,e'p) reaction.
We calculate the asymmetry in the missing-momentum distribution from the (e, e ′ p) reaction in a relativistic formalism. Longitudinal and transverse response functions are evaluated in parallel kinematics as a function of the three-momentum transfer to the nucleus. Analytic expressions for the responses are obtained in a relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation. These expressions reveal a...
متن کاملSuperscaling in charged current neutrino quasielastic scattering in the relativistic impulse approximation.
Superscaling of the quasielastic cross section in charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions at energies of a few GeV is investigated within the framework of the relativistic impulse approximation. Several approaches are used to describe final-state interactions and comparisons are made with the plane-wave approximation. Superscaling is very successful in all cases. The scaling function obtaine...
