Cross sections for proton knockout observed in (e,e'p) reactions are apparently quenched by a factor of ~0.5, an effect attributed to short-range correlations between nucleons. Here we demonstrate that such quenching is not restricted to…
An eikonal expansion is developed in order to provide systematic corrections to the eikonal approximation through order 1/k^2, where k is the wave number. The expansion is applied to wave functions for the Klein-Gordon equation and for the…
The exclusive processes 2H(e,e'p)n, 3He(e,e'p)^2H, and 3He(e,e'p)(pn), have been calculated using realistic few-body wave functions and treating final state interaction effects within a generalized eikonal approach.
The promise and limitations of studying nuclear structure and reactions using (e,e'p) reactions are discussed. A(e,e'p)A-1 reactions on complex nuclei are used to test new relativistic mean-field calculations and their ingredients such as…
Relativistic beams of heavy ions interacting with various nuclear targets allow to study a broad range of problems starting from nuclear equation of state to the traditional nuclear structure. Some questions which were impossible to answer…

Breakup reactions are one of the main tools for the study of exotic nuclei, and in particular of their continuum. In order to get valuable information from measurements, a precise reaction model coupled to a fair description of the…

Background: For its simplicity, the eikonal method is the tool of choice to analyze nuclear reactions at high energies ($E>100$ MeV/nucleon), including knockout reactions. However, so far, the effective interactions used in this method are…

We measured the 12C(e,e'p) cross section as a function of missing energy in parallel kinematics for (q,w) = (970 MeV/c, 330 MeV) and (990 MeV/c, 475 MeV). At w=475 MeV, at the maximum of the quasielastic peak, there is a large continuum…
The eikonal description of breakup reactions diverges because of the Coulomb interaction between the projectile and the target. This divergence is due to the adiabatic, or sudden, approximation usually made, which is incompatible with the…
