Abstract: (Elsevier)
The reaction 16 O( e , e ′ pp ) 14 C has been investigated at three values of the transferred energy ω . The differential cross sections were determined as a function of the missing energy and the missing momentum. Evidence for short-range correlations in 16 O has been obtained from the transition to the ground state of 14 C. The cross sections for this transition are well reproduced by two independent parameter-free microscopic calculations. The results of both calculations show that the reaction is dominated by knockout of a proton pair in a 1 S 0 state, driven by short-range-correlations.
