The ({ital p},{ital p}{alpha}) cluster-knockout reaction on {sup 9}Be has been investigated experimentally at a bombarding energy of 200 MeV. Coincident data were obtained at five quasifree angle pairs for proton angles ranging from 40{degree} to 80{degree}. The data were analyzed in terms of the distorted-wave impulse approximation. The calculated energy-sharing distributions reproduce the data reasonably well, indicating that the quasifree-knockout mechanism dominates the reaction. The factorization approximation employed in the calculation is found to be valid. The absolute spectroscopic factors derived from the data are in excellent agreement with lower-energy results, and compare well with shell-model predictions.
