Probing for high-momentum protons in 4He via the 4He$(e,e'p)X $ reactions
Journal Article

· Physical Review. C
Here, experimental cross sections for the $^4He(e,e'p)X$ reactions in the missing energy range from 0.017 to 0.022 GeV and up to a missing momentum of 0.632 GeV/$$c$$ at $$x_B=1.24$$ and $Q^2$=2(GeV/$$c$$)$^2$ are reported. The data are compared to relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations for the $^4He(e,e'p)^3H$ channel. Significantly more events are observed for $$p_{m}$$$$≥$0.45 GeV/$$c$$ than are predicted by the theoretical model, and striking fluctuations in the ratio of data to the theoretical model around $$p_{m}$$$$= $0.3 GeV/$$c$$ are possible signals of initial-state multinucleon correlations.
