Do quasifree reaction mechanisms explain reaction cross sections in intermediate-energy proton-nucleus scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The 800-MeV ( p,p') inclusive proton spectra at forward angles are considered. A plane-wave impulse approximation is used to calculate quasifree nucleon knockout and quasifree isobar production. When the quasifree peaks are normalized to data, we find that the integrated cross section for the two processes can account for the total reaction cross section.
