Nuclear correlation and finite interaction-range effects in high-energy $(e,e^{\prime }p)$ nuclear transparency

Abstract

Nuclear transparency is calculated for high-energy, semi-inclusive $(e,e^{\prime }p)$ reactions, by accounting for all orders of Glauber multiple-scattering and by using realistic finite-range $pN$ interaction and (dynamically and statistically) correlated nuclear wave functions. The nuclear correlation effect is reduced due to the $pN$ finite-range effect. The net effect is small, and depends sensitively on details of the nuclear correlations in finite nuclei, which are poorly known at present.
