Abstract
Complete sets of polarization transfer coefficients have been measured for quasifree () scattering from , , and at 494 MeV and scattering angles of 12.5°, 18°, and 27° ( ). These measurements yield separated transverse () and longitudinal () isovector spin responses. Comparison of the separated responses to calculations and to electron-scattering responses reveals a strong enhancement in the spin transverse channel. This excess transverse strength masks the effect of pionic correlations in the response ratio.
