Polarization-transfer components for 4 He( e, e ′ p) 3 H and 16 O( e, e ′ p) 15 N are computed within the relativistic multiple-scattering Glauber approximation (RMSGA). The RMSGA framework adopts relativistic single-particle wave functions and electron-nucleon couplings. The predictions closely match those of a relativistic plane-wave model indicating the smallness of the final-state interactions for polarization-transfer components. Also short-range correlations play a modest role for the studied observables, as long as small proton missing momenta are probed in quasi-elastic kinematics.The predictions with free and various parameterizations for the medium-modified electromagnetic form factors are compared to the world data.
