description

The coincidence cross section and the interference structure function, ${R}_{\mathrm{LT}},$ were measured for the ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}{(e,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}p){}^{11}\mathrm{B}$ reaction at quasielastic kinematics and central momentum transfer of $|\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{q}|=400\mathrm{M}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathrm{c}.$ The measurement was at an opening angle of ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{\mathrm{pq}}=11\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{},$ covering a range in missing energy of ${E}_{m}=0$ to 65 MeV. The ${R}_{\mathrm{LT}}$ structure function is found to be consistent with zero for ${E}_{m}g50\mathrm{MeV},$ confirming an earlier study which indicated that ${R}_{L}$ vanishes in this region. The integrated strengths of the $p$- and $s$-shell are compared with a distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) calculation. The $s$-shell strength and shape are also compared with a Hartree Fock--random phase approximation (HF-RPA) calculation. The DWIA calculation does not succeed in giving a consistent description of both the cross section data and the extracted ${R}_{\mathrm{LT}}$ response for either shell. The HF-RPA calculation describes the data more consistently, which may be due to the inclusion of 2-body currents in this calculation.
