Abstract

The effect of tensor nucleon-nucleon correlations upon exclusive and semi-exclusive electronuclear reactions is studied. Differential cross sections for the semi-exclusive 16O(e,e'p) and exclusive 16O(e,e'pn) processes are computed by explicitly evaluating the dynamical electromagnetic coupling to a tensor correlated nucleon pair. In both reaction channels the tensor correlations contribute in a very substantial way. Tensor correlations are found to generate more electronuclear strength than central Jastrow correlations do.
