Bridging Two Ways of Describing Final-State Interactions in A(e,e'p) Reactions

Abstract

We outline a relativistic and unfactorized framework to treat the final-state interactions in quasi-elastic A(e,e'p) reactions for four-momentum transfers Q${}^2\gtrsim 0.3$ (GeV/c)${}^2$. The model, which relies on the eikonal approximation, can be used in combination with optical potentials, as well as with the Glauber multiple-scattering method. We argue that such a model can bridge the gap between a typical ``low'' and ``high-energy'' description of final-state interactions, in a reasonably smooth fashion. This argument is made on the basis of calculated structure functions, polarization observables and nuclear transparencies for the target nuclei ${}^{12}$C and ${}^{16}$O.
