Nuclear Transparency From Quasielastic C-12(E, E ' P)

We studied the reaction C-12(e,e(')p) in quasielastic kinematics at momentum transfers between 0.6 and 1.8 (GeV/c)(2) covering the single-particle region. From this the nuclear transparency factors are extracted using two methods. The results are compared to theoretical predictions obtained using a generalization of Glauber theory described in this paper. Furthermore, the momentum distribution in the region of the 1s-state up to momenta of 300 MeV/c is obtained from the data and compared to the correlated basis function theory and the independent-particle shell model.
