2. (I) Long Range Correlations search and spectroscopic factors a) Measure spectroscopic factors for states near the Fermi level. Spectroscopic factors depend on short range correlations (SRC) and long range correlations (LRC). b) Measure cross sections for these low lying states to 500 MeV/c in pmiss. Excess strength here is theoretically identied as due to LRC. c) Search for Q 2 dependence of spectroscopic factors. (II) Identify dynamical relativistic e ects in nuclear structure. Measure cross section asymmetry A TL around the three momentum transfer. Relativistic mean eld theory predicts an A TL dependence on p miss < 300 MeV/c due to dynamical enhancement of the lower component of the nucleon wave function. Calculations which do not include the enhancement of the lower component predict a substantially di erent A TL behavior. Physics Objective: How well do we understand nuclear structure?

3. Activities in 2008 1) Continuing analysis of the 2007 data. 2) 5 day run in January 2008 to get more data for p miss > 300MeV/c. 1a) Raster and Optics Studies Extensive optics/raster studies on a run by run basis. Raster on resolution matches geant simulation, 1 MeV FWHM Expect a lengthy analysis to achieve same resolution for low p miss runs.

4. Raster/Optics optimization - A great expenditure of effort has been made in: Establishing the Raster Correction Improving the coincidence time (resolution <5ns) Improving the optics database. - This part of the analysis is almost finished and we obtain reasonably good resolution.

6. - Due to our finite resolution, only two peaks can be separated in 208 Pb E miss spectrum. Both of them are composed of two peaks. -The strength of the 1g 7/2 shell can be neglected at this low p miss.

7. 1b) Cross sections Cross sections vs acceptance for solid angle and momentum bite cuts Cross sections vs raster pattern cut 12 C(e, e p) 11 B, p miss = +100 setting, restricted solid angles. The t to the spectrum is shown. sigma = 3.35 nb/Mev/Sr 2 data/theory = 0.65

8. 12 C(e, e p) 11 B, pmiss = +100 setting, full solid angles. The t to the spectrum is shown. sigma = 2.92 nb/MeV/Sr 2 data/theory = 0.58 1b) Cross sections Cross sections vs acceptance for solid angle and momentum bite cuts We expect the ratio of data/theory to depend on the solid angle cut because of instrumental and physical effects. (small solid angle)/(full solid angle)= 1.12 This factor should be the acceptance efficiency cut.

9. 1b) Preliminary cross sections Cross sections vs raster pattern cut Large raster pattern sometimes caused the beam to hit the frame Hall A raster pattern is very uniform. Checked uniformity by examining count rate vs raster pattern cut Present estimate of systematic error is 20% cross sections in nb/MeV/Sr 2

10. cos(phi) phi is the angle between the electron scattering plane and the qxp plane. The response functions R TT and R TL must be included in the simulation of the theory in the experimental conditions. 12 C(e,e'p) 11 B, 3 MeV wide region around ground state, p miss = 0 setting

11. p miss = + 100 MeV/c settingp miss = + 200 MeV/c setting cos(phi) 12 C(e,e'p) 11 B, 3 MeV wide region around ground state, The low p miss settings are particularly sensitive to the phi variation. With the present theory simulation of the data assuming phi = 0 or phi = П, the comparison between data and theory is reasonable only for large p miss.
