Nuclear Density Dependence of In-Medium Polarization    [PDF]

Guy Ron, Wim Cosyn, Eli Piasetzky, Jan Ryckebusch, Jechiel Lichtenstadt
It is shown that polarization transfer measurements $(\vec{e},e'\vec{p})$ on a specific target nucleus can provide constraints on the ratio of the in-medium electric to magnetic form factor. Thereby one exploits the fact that proton knockout from single-particle levels exhibit a specific sensitivity to the effective nuclear density. It is shown that in $^{12}$C the effective nuclear density for $s$-shell knockout is about twice as high as for $p$-shell knockout. With current model predictions for the in-medium form factors, one obtains measurable modifications of the order of 5% in the ratios of the double polarization observables between those single-particle levels.
