Induced Nucleon Polarization and Meson-Exchange Currents in (e,e'p) Reactions

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

Nucleon recoil polarization observables in (e,ep)(e,e'\vec{p}) reactions are investigated using a semi-relativistic distorted-wave model which includes one- and two-body currents with relativistic corrections. Results for the induced polarization asymmetry are shown for closed-shell nuclei and a comparison with available experimental data for 12^{12}C is provided. A careful analysis of meson exchange currents shows that they may affect significantly the induced polarization for high missing momentum.
