✦ Synopsis
We present the first data on the exclusive (p, e+e -) reaction in a nucleus. Cross sections for populating the ground state and first excited state in the residual nucleus are presented for the reaction llB(p,e+e-)12C at 98 MeV. The e+e -momentum vectors were measured with a high-resolution magnetic pair spectrometer. The distributions of the virtual photon invariant mass and of the direction of the electron in the virtual photon rest system are compared with a simple single-nucleon model. The (p, e+e -) cross sections are compared with corresponding data for the (p, y) reaction obtained with the same apparatus. The (p, e+e -) cross sections show substantial enhancement over what is expected from the simple model.

The effect of central, tensor and spin-isospin nucleon-nucleon correlations upon semi-exclusive 16 O(e, e p) reactions is studied for Q 2 and Bjorken x values in the range 0.2 Q 2 1.1 (GeV/c) 2 and 0.15 x 2. The fully unfactorized calculations are performed in a framework that accounts not only for
The reduced cross section for exclusive (e, ePp) reactions has been studied in DWlA for the example of the nucleus 160 using a spectral function containing effects of correlations. The spectral function is evaluated directly for the finite nucleus starting from a realistic nucleonnucleon interaction
The triple differential cross sections for the 6Li(e,e'p) reaction have been measured in the excitation energy range from 27 to 46 MeV in a search for evidence of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) in 6Li. The cross sections have no distinct structures in this energy region, and decrease smoothly with
