Proton propagation through nuclei and the quasi-free reaction mechanism studied with

Jefferson Lab experiment E91-013 measured the energy dependence of proton propagation in nuclei, using the quasi-free (e, e{prime}p) reaction. The ratios of the experimental (e, e{prime}p) cross-sections integrated over the quasi-free region to PWIA calculations are presented as a function of momentum transfer, (0.6 < Q{sup 2} < 3.3 GeV{sup 2}) and target nucleus (C, Fe and Au). As a first step towards a longitudinal and transverse separation of the quasi-free cross-section, a super ratio of the measured to the calculated cross-sections at forward and backward angles is presented.
