Abstract
A longitudinal/transverse separation of the (e,e’p) reaction in the quasielastic region has been performed in parallel kinematics. Above the two-particle emission threshold a broad bump is seen which has been attributed to knockout from the deeply bound s shell. The s-shell region shows a large transverse enhancement compared to distorted-wave impulse-approximation calculations based on free-proton form factors. This enhancement increases with missing energy, indicating that a nonquasielastic reaction mechanism plays a significant role. The p shell is consistent with the free-proton behavior.
