Abstract

The ratio of transverse and longitudinal response functions is investigated for the quasielastic reaction ${Li}^{6}$ (e,e′p). The ratio itself and its dependence on the missing energy cannot be explained in the distorted-wave impulse approximation. It is proposed that a reaction mechanism other than quasielastic one-body knockout plays a significant role. © 1990 The American Physical Society
