Title: Dynamical relativistic effects in quasielastic 1 {rho}-shell proton knockout from {sup 16}O

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:755567

The authors have measured the cross section for quasielastic 1 {rho}-shell proton knockout in the (sup 16)O (e, e{prime}p) reaction at {omega} = 0.439 GeV and Q{sup 2} = 0.8 (GeV/c){sup 2} for missing momentum P{sub miss} {<=} 355 MeV/c. They have extracted the response functions R{sub L+TT}, R{sub T}, R{sub LT}, and the left-right asymmetry, A{sub LT}, for the 1{rho}{sub 1/2} and the 1{rho}{sub 3/2} states. The data are well described by relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation calculations. At large P{sub miss}, the structure observed in A{sub LT} indicates the existence of dynamical relativistic effects.
