The (p, pa) cluster-knockout reaction on Be has been investigate'd experimentally at a bombarding energy of 200 MeV. Coincident data were obtained at five quasifree angle pairs for proton angles ranging from 40 to 80'. The data were analyzed in terms of the distorted-wave impulse approximation. The calculated energy-sharing distributions reproduce the data reasonably well, indicating that the quasifree-knockout mechanism dominates the reaction. The factorization approximation employed in the calculation is found to be valid. The absolute spectroscopic factors derived from the data are in excellent agreement with lower-energy results, and compare well with shell-model predictions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
