“…PACS numbers: 21.10.Jx, 21.60.Ka, 25.30.Dh,27.20.+n In this letter we present new experimental data on the reaction 7 Li(e, e ′ p) 6 He and compare the deduced momentum distributions with recent ab initio predictions from variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations. Some years ago, two of us (Lapikás and Wesseling) participated in electron scattering experiments to determine shell occupancies in the nuclei 30 Si, 31 P, and 32 S [1,2]. In the latter case, a Li 2 S target was used, with resolution sufficient to separate the discrete transitions in the reaction 32 S(e, e ′ p) 31 P from those in the reaction 7 Li(e, e ′ p) 6 He.…”
