Quasi-elastic 16O(e, e′ p) cross sections in a self-consistent microscopic model

We present self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF) and random-phase approximation (RPA) calculations for quasi-elastic ¹⁶O(e, e′ p) cross sections. The role of the final state interaction (FSI) and RPA-like multi-step processes is discussed. Comparing the results with the experimental data, spectroscopic factors could be derived. It is found that the RPA correlations systematically enhance the deduced spectroscopic factors.
