Extracting Nuclear Transparency from p-A Cross sections

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We study nuclear structure effects on the transparency in high transverse momentum (p,2p)(p,2p) and (e,ep)(e,e'p) reactions. We show that in the DWIA-eikonal approximation, even when correlations are included, one can get a factorized expression for the transparency. This depends only on the average nucleon density ρ(r)\rho(r) and a correlation function. We develop a technique to include correlations in a Monte-Carlo Glauber type calculation. We compare calculations of TT using the eikonal formalism and a continuous density, with a Monte Carlo method based on discrete nucleons.
