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

Abstract

Experimental cross sections for the $^4He(e,e'p)X$ reaction 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(RDWIA) calculations for $^4He(e,e'p)^3H$ channel. Significantly more events in the triton mass region are measured for $$p_{m}$$$$>$0.45 GeV/$$c$$ than are predicted by the theoretical model, suggesting that the effects of initial-state multi-nucleon correlations are stronger than expected by the RDWIA model.
