We have measured the cross section for quasielastic 1p-shell proton knockout in the 16O(e,e(')p) reaction at omega = 0.439 GeV and Q2 = 0.8 (GeV/c)(2) for missing momentum P(miss)</=355 MeV/c. We ...have extracted the response functions R(L+TT), R(T), R(LT), and the left-right asymmetry, A(LT), for the 1p(1/2) and the 1p(3/2) states. The data are well described by relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation calculations. At large P(miss), the structure observed in A(LT) indicates the existence of dynamical relativistic effects.
Pion absorption is a large fraction of the total pion-nucleus total cross section. Studies of pion absorption with large solid angle detectors have shown that the pion energy is typically distributed ...among three to four nucleons. The implications for neutrino interaction Monte Carlos is discussed.
Recent theoretical work has shown that a new class of parton distributions, called generalized parton distributions, can be accessed experimentally and give a complete picture of the structure of the ...nucleon.
We present measurements of the recoil proton polarization for the {sup 1}H(gamma-vector,p-vector)pi{sup 0} reaction for theta{sub c.m.}{sup pi} = 60{sup o}-135{sup o} and for photon energies up to ...4.1 GeV. These are the first data in this reaction for polarization transfer with circularly polarized photons. Various theoretical models are compared with the results. No evidence for hadron helicity conservation is observed. Models that employ factorization are not favored. It appears from the strong angular dependence of the induced polarization at photon energies of 2.5 and 3.1 GeV that a relatively high spin resonance or background amplitude might exist in this energy region.
