Abstract
Recent studies of the electro-disintegration of the few body systems at JLab have revived the field. Not only recoil momentum distributions have been determined in a single shot. But also they confirm that the diagrammatic approach, which I developed 25 years ago, is relevant to analyze them, provided that the nucleon–nucleon scattering amplitude, determined in the same energy range, is used. They provide us with a solid starting point to address the issue of the propagation of exotic components of hadrons in nuclear matter.
Highlights
The primary goal of the study of the (e,e′p) reaction on nuclei was, and still is, the determination of the high momentum components of the nuclear wave function
Recoil momentum distributions have been determined in a single shot
The spectral functions measured at Saclay or Amsterdam suffered from large corrections due to Final State Interactions (FSI) and Meson Exchange Currents (MEC)
Summary
The primary goal of the study of the (e,e′p) reaction on nuclei was, and still is, the determination of the high momentum components of the nuclear wave function. It shows the angular distribution, against the neutron angle θR with the virtual photon, of the ratio between the full cross section of the D(e,e′p)n reaction and the quasi-free contribution, when the momentum PR of the recoiling neutron is kept constant.
