Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations and Two-Nucleon Currents in Exclusive (e,e'NN) Reactions
Abstract
The contributions of short-range nucleon-nucleon (NN) correlations, various meson exchange current (MEC) terms and the influence of isobar excitations (isobaric currents, IC) on exclusive two-nucleon knockout reactions induced by electron scattering are investigated. The nuclear structure functions are evaluated for nuclear matter. Realistic NN interactions derived in the framework of One-Boson-Exchange model are employed to evaluate the effects of correlations and MEC in a consistent way. The correlations correlations are determined by solving the Bethe-Goldstone equation. This yields significant contributions to the structure functions WL and WT of the (e,e'pn) and (e,e'pp) reactions. These contributions compete with MEC corrections originating from the π and exchange terms of the same interaction. Special attention is paid to the so-called 'super parallel' kinematics at momentum transfers which can be measured e.g. at MAMI in Mainz.
