Medium Effects on Knockout of Deeply Bound Nucleons

Abstract

The analyzing power for quasi-free nucleon-nucleon scattering has been found to differ substantially from that for the free interaction. This medium modification was first noticed in inclusive scattering experiments. In the present work, it has been demonstrated that kinematically complete exclusive measurements are capable of demonstrating this effect more clearly. This advantage arises by virtue of the possibility of selecting nucleons bound in states localized in the nuclear interior
