Abstract

Within the framework of the relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA), we investigate the sensitivity of complete sets of polarization transfer observables for exclusive proton knockout from the 3s1/2, 2d3/2 and 2d5/2 states in 208Pb, at an incident laboratory kinetic energy of 202 MeV, and for coincident coplanar scattering angles (28.0, -54.6), to different distorting optical potentials, finite-range (FR) versus zero-range (ZR) approximations to the DWIA, as well as medium-modified meson-nucleon coupling constants and meson masses. Results are also compared to the nonrelativistic DWIA predictions based on the Schrödinger equation.
