Abstract

Electron-induced two-nucleon knockout reactions at intermediate electron energies are driven both by one-body currents (coupling of the virtual photon to correlated nucleon pairs) and two-body currents (intermediate Δ-excitation and meson exchange currents (MEC)). In addition, final state interactions (FSI) contribute to the cross section. Recent experiments [1] have shown that the 160(e, e’pp)14C reaction is dominated by the direct knockout of strongly correlated proton pairs via one-body currents.
