The fifth response function and spin-orbit final-state interaction in the framework of Glauber theory for (e, e{prime}p) reactions
The author discuss the effects of the spin-orbit final state interaction on the fifth response function. Currently, there are many (e,e{prime}p) experiments at GeV energies being performed or planned at Jefferson Lab. The major theoretical problem in the description of these reactions is the fact that at transferred energies of 1 GeV or more, a consistent calculation for the initial bound state and the--in general rather complicated--hadronic final state from a microscopic Lagrangian is not feasible. For the ground state and low energy transfers, few-body nuclei can be described by meson-exchange based nucleon-nucleon interactions, but for energies much larger than the threshold for pion emission, this is not feasible anymore. At GeV energies, it is questionable if the physical picture of nucleons interacting by meson exchange is still valid.
