Probing nucleon-nucleon correlations with (e,e ′ p) and (e,e ′ pp) reactions

Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations in Electromagnetically Induced Knockout Reactions

The attempts to investigate correlations in electromagnetically induced oneand two-nucleon knockout are reviewed. The theoretical framework for cross section calculations is outlined and some results are presented for the exclusive O(e, ep)N and O(e, epp)C reactions. For the (e, ep) reaction attention is focussed on extracting the spectroscopic factors. For the (e, epp) reaction the possibility...

Nucleon flow and fragment flow in heavy ion reactions.

The collective flow of nucleons and that of fragments in the 12C+12C reaction below 150 MeV/nucleon are calculated with the antisymmetrized version of molecular dynamics combined with the statistical decay calculation. Density dependent Gogny force is used as the effective interaction. The calculated balance energy is about 100 MeV/nucleon, which is close to the observed value. Below the balanc...

Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations and Two-Nucleon Currents in Exclusive (e, e′NN) Reactions

It is well known that nuclei form a many-body system of interacting nucleons which exhibit strong correlations beyond the mean field or Hartree-Fock approximation. The strong short-range and tensor components of a realistic model for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction induce corresponding two-body correlations. Many attempts have been made to explore the details of these correlations. Photoin...

Probing the Nucleon at Large Momentum Transfer

The central role of soft nucleon matrix elements in reactions of high energy electrons or real photons with nucleons is emphasized. These soft matrix elements are described in terms of skewed parton distributions. Their connections to ordinary parton distributions, form factors, Compton scattering and hard meson electroproduction is discussed.
