Quasielastic (e,e{prime}p) scattering at large momentum transfer
- Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Newport News, VA (United States); and others
Coincidence cross sections for (e, e{prime} p) quasi-elastic scattering were measured at CEBAF with high statistical precision for C, Fe, and Au targets for 0.6 < Q{sup 2} < 3.3 GeV{sup 2}. Missing energy and missing momentum distributions obtained from a preliminary analysis are in reasonable agreement with prior data from SLAC. The preliminary results are compared with a PWIA calculation to determine the nuclear transparency as a function of Q{sup 2} and A. At both A{sup 2} = 0.6 and Q{sup 2} = 1.8 GeV{sup 2} data were taken to perform a Rosenbluth separation to extract the longitudinal and transverse cross sections. The preliminary missing-energy distributions of the forward and backward angle measurements do not indicate an obvious excess of transverse strength.
