Quasi elastic cross sections for the 209Bi(e,e'p) 208Pb reaction: Jefferson Lab experiment E06007

Abstract

Quasi elastic cross sections were measured for the first time for both negative and positive missing momenta for the 209Bi(e,e'p) 208Pb reaction leading to the ground state and hole states of 208Pb. Experimental cross sections obtained between -0.3 GeV/c to 0.3 GeV/c agree with theoretical calculations using RDWIA techniques both in shape and magnitude for the ground state. The data for the ground state production of 208Pb are consistent with a theoretical model assuming a single proton(1.06 ± 0.10) in the 1h9/2 orbit in 209Bi. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
