N*electroproduction and propagation in nuclei

We have measured the [sup 12]C([gamma][sup *],[pi][sup [minus]][ital p])[sup 11]C[sub g.s.] cross section using virtual bremsstrahlung at three points at invariant masses of 1444 and 1530 MeV. At low neutron initial momentum ([ital p][sub [ital m]][approx]60 MeV/[ital c]) and large [ital N][sup *] momentum ([ital p][sub [ital N]][sup *][approx]750 MeV/[ital c]) the measured cross section is at or below the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) calculation. At larger initial momentum ([ital p][sub [ital m]][approx]220 MeV/[ital c]) and smaller [ital N][sup *] momentum ([ital p][sub [ital N]][sup *][approx]500 MeV/[ital c]), the measured cross section is almost twice as large as the DWIA calculation. This discrepancy might be due to [ital N][sup *]-nucleus interactions.
