Abstract

The cross section of the He-4(e, e'p)H-3 reaction has been measured for missing momenta 220 less than or equal to p(m) less than or equal to 690 MeV/c to study high-momentum components of the nuclear wave function and the reaction mechanism for this transition. The zero predicted in the plane-wave impulse approximation (PWIA) cross section, due to the underlying pt momentum distribution, is found to be washed out. Three types of calculations indicate that this is caused by final-state interactions and contributions from two-body currents. The calculations reproduce the high p(m) (600-690 MeV/c) data, although due to different ingredients in the models.
