Abstract

The strong forward angle peaking observed in the high energy continuum of inelastic (p, p′) spectra is shown to be dominated by a single scattering (or quasi-elastic) mechanism. The multiple scattering process, i.e. proton emitted after two or more collisions inside the nucleus, also contributes a significant yield to (p, p′) spectra and becomes more important at backward angles.
