Inclusive $(e,e^\prime N)$, $(e,e^\prime NN)$, $(e,e^\prime π)$ ... reactions in nuclei

Abstract

We study the inclusive $(e,e^\prime N)$, $(e,e^\prime NN)$, $(e,e^\prime π)$, $(e,e^\prime πN)$ reactions in nuclei using a Monte Carlo simulation method to treat the multichannel problem of the final state. The input consists of reaction probabilities for the different steps evaluated using microscopical many body methods. We obtain a good agreement with experiment in some channels where there is data and make predictions for other channels which are presently under investigation in several electron laboratories. The comparison of the theoretical results with experiment for several kinematical conditions and diverse channels can serve to learn about different physical processes ocurring in the reaction. The potential of this theoretical tool to make prospections for possible experiments, aiming at pinning down certain reaction probabilities, is also emphasized.
