Proposal to measure 6Li(e,e'pp)X

We propose to study the reaction 6Li(e,e'pp)X at NEAL, with the objective of mapping out form-factors. 6Li is a particularly favorable nucleus for such a study: (1) It is a system whose shell-model structure is well-known, and simple (ls-lp shells only). (2) One can hope to model 6Li = 4He core + 2H in orbit; 4He is favorable for short-range studies because of its high central density, but the solid Li precludes the technical problems of a gas or liquid He target. (3) The low Fermi momentum, k/sub F/ = 169 MeV/c, yields easy access to the energy-loss regions where the single-particle cross-section is zero and any finite cross-section can be attributed in part to correlations
