Title Study of the 12C(e, e2p) Reaction in a Correlations Dominant Regime with Q2 = 2.0 (GeV/c)2 and XB > 1
Abstract This experiment was motivated by studying short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations via multinucleon knockout reactions?(e, e?pN). The data were taken in Hall A at Jefferson Lab using the pair of high resolution spectrometers to detect the (e, e?p)reaction data, and using a third large acceptance spectrometer called BigBite to detect the second nucleon ejected from the nucleus. The kinematics were chosen to be conducive for studying short-range correlations?namely a large momentum transfer and xB > 1. The central kinematic values used during the experiment were Q2 = 2 (GeV/c)2 and xB = 1.2, although the spectrometer acceptances resulted in a range of both Q2 and xB being recorded in the data. While the electron spectrometer was unchanged during the experiment, the proton spectrometer was changed to cover a range of missing momentum values, ~Pm ? 200 ? 650 MeV/c; this resulted in three different datasets. This thesis presents the analysis and results of the (e, e?p) reaction channel.
