Spectral function at high missing energies and momenta

Abstract

The nuclear spectral function at high missing energies and momenta has been determined from a self-consistent calculation of the Green's function in nuclear matter using realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions. The results are compared with recent experimental data derived from ($e,e^{\prime }p$) reactions on ${}^{12}C$. A rather good agreement is obtained if the Green's functions are calculated in a non-perturbative way.
