Abstract
The effect of central, tensor and spin–isospin nucleon–nucleon correlations upon semi-exclusive 16 O(e,e′p) reactions is studied for Q 2 and Bjorken x values in the range 0.2≲Q 2≲1.1 ( GeV/c) 2 and 0.15≲x≲2. The fully unfactorized calculations are performed in a framework that accounts not only for the dynamical coupling of virtual photons to correlated nucleon pairs but also for meson-exchange and Δ 33 -isobar currents. Tensor correlations are observed to produce substantially larger amounts of semi-exclusive 16 O(e,e′p) strength than central correlations do and are predominantly manifest in the proton–neutron knockout channel. With the exception of the x≈2 case, in all kinematical situations studied the meson-exchange and isobar currents are a strong source of A(e,e′p) strength at deep missing energies. This feature gives the A(e,e′p) strength at deep missing energies a pronounced transverse character.
