Momentum and energy distributions from (e,e'p) reactions

Single hole state momentum and energy distributions are obtained from (e,e'p) experiments. Together with some recent results on 16O and 9Be, several problems in the data interpretation are discussed like the validity of the usual distortion corrections, the importance of rescattering effects, the shape and widths of the energy distributions and the energy weighted sum rule. A recent measurement of the deuteron momentum distribution, with the aim of measuring the D-state amplitude, is described
