Relativistic predictions of spin observables for exclusive proton knockout reactions

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

Within the framework of the relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA), we investigate the sensitivity of complete sets of polarization transfer observables for exclusive proton knockout from the 3s1/2_{1/2}, 2d3/2_{3/2} and 2d5/2_{5/2} states in 208^{208}Pb, at an incident laboratory kinetic energy of 202 MeV, and for coincident coplanar scattering angles (28.028.0^{\circ}, 54.6-54.6^{\circ}), to different distorting optical potentials, finite-range (FR) versus zero-range (ZR) approximations to the DWIA, as well as medium-modified meson-nucleon coupling constants and meson masses. Results are also compared to the nonrelativistic DWIA predictions based on the Schr\"{o}dinger equation.
