Abstract

Abstract The first results from a program to compare quasi-free proton and neutron knockout from nuclei are presented. The binding energy of the s and p neutron hole states in 12 C have been obtained. Relative cross sections for proton and neutron knockout from 2 H and 12 C were determined for two very different kinematical conditions. The ratio, R of σ(p, pn) to σ(p, 2p) is in agreement with estimates based on the impulse approximation for 2 H but there is a deviation for 12 C. These observations suggest that refinements will have to be made to the theoretical ideas used to analyze quasi-free knockout reactions.
