Physics Motivation
How well do we understand nuclear structure ?
The underlying physical picture Dense system of fermions whose motions to first order can be treated as independent particles moving in a mean field Electromagnetic interactions Best probes for investigating the validity of the independent particle picture because they are sensitive to a large fraction of the nuclear volume
Realistic microscopic calculations of the spectroscopic factors are not possible for medium-heavy (A>20) nuclei. Approximations are made that build on top of the shell model (mean field or independent particle picture) that is still the basic building block upon which most calculations of complex nuclei rely
Deviations from independent particle motion for orbits near the Fermi surface are attributed to effects beyond mean field (correlations) which reveal their presence in two ways:
(i) Changes in the occupation and spectroscopic factors with respect to mean-field predictions(kin01-kin07, 0 to 300 MeV/c in pmiss )
(ii) Changes in the momentum distribution of particles, especially at high momentum and binding energies (kin08-kin11, 400 to 500 MeV/c in pmiss)

Physics Motivation
•The (e,e’p) reaction at quasielastic kinematics and in exclusive conditions, for the outermost shells, becomes one of the most powerful and cleanest test of the mean field and the correlations needed to supplement it
•208Pb is the most suitable candidate to employ the mean field prediction, and thus it has been measured in the past in order to measure spectroscopic factors
•The reaction has been measured in the past, mainly in parallel kinematics and for moderate values of Q2. Spectroscopic factors have been measured
Physics Motivation
Still open issues: (i) possible dependence on Q2 of the spectroscopic factors?
12C(e,e’p) data over wide range of Q2.There appears to be a Q2 dependence to the spectroscopic factors observed in this reaction[2]. This interpretation has been disputed and the Q2 dependence attributed to analysis methods of SRC[3]208Pb(e,e'p) has been studied in the past at low momentum transfers and spectroscopic factors in the range of 0.6 to 0.7 have been reliably extracted from parallel kinematics [4,5,6] at low Q2
A measurement at several high values of Q2 will directly address the question of momentum transfer dependence of the spectroscopic factors
data [4], theory [5].

•Shell model (mean field) calculations: the shape of the cross-section is well described, but the measured spectroscopic factors are below the mean field prediction. How large/small must be the spectrocopic factors?
About 30% depletion is observed for states near the Fermi level. This cannot be explained only with short-range correlations
Shape at moderate pm and parallel kinematics is well understood
Long range correlations are predicted to be visible at large pm
Open issues: (ii) Long range correlations and cross-sections at high pm (> 300 MeV/c)
If long range correlations are the reason for the small spectroscopic factors, then they should produce a large effect at high missing momentum. An experiment was performed at NIKHEF-K to measure the large momentum
region, but the kinematics was far from XB=1. Additional strength was indeed
found, but this can be explained either via long-range correlations [Bobeldijk,6] or by relativistic effects in the mean field model [Udias,7].

Excess strength at high pmiss
open issues: (iii) Are there any other signatures of relativistic dynamics in nuclei besides the spin
orbit force?It seems that TL-observables (that change sign when the cross-section is measured when the knocked out proton is at both sides of the transferred momentum) are sensitive to dynamical relativistic effects
A measurement at both sides
of q will directly measure ATL
and address the possible dynamical relativisitc effects. Yet such a measurement for 208Pb has never been attempted

Long range correlations are needed to explain the 30% depletion. If correlations are excluded, neither Nonrel. or Rel. theory can produce large strength at high pmiss. This is in contrast to the ambiguous signature at xB << 1 of former experiment at NIKHEF-K

Look at large pmiss for correlations.

We compare to theoretical predictions after acceptance averaging. We do not attempt to separate the five shells in this region nor to
compute ATL. If cross-sections are higher than the
mean field prediction, the improved statistics might eventually allow for shell separation and ATL measurement
Target Issues Cold Lead in diamond sandwichE03-011 has demonstrated that a 0.5 mm lead foil sandwiched between two 0.15 mm diamond foils at cryogenic temperatures can withstand currents up to 80 uA and calculations indicate that they can operate at 100 μ A. Thinner (0.2mm) lead foil is not a problem
Experimental Preparations
Direct cooling of target block using cryogen flow from loop2.
Target block contains 2 Pb targets and a Bi target.
Will the diamond structure survive weeks of bombardment? High thermal conductivity is due to diamond structure.
