Abstract

Polarization observables for the A(e,e'NN) and A(γ,NN) reactions are a powerful tool to study nucleon-nucleon correlations in the nuclear medium. In this paper, model calculations for the 4He(e,e'pp), 16O(e,e'pp), 16O(e,e' pn) and 12C(γ,pN) reactions are presented. The sensitivity of the differential cross sections and polarization observables to central and spin-dependent nucleon-nucleon correlations is discussed.
