Two-proton overlap functions in the Jastrow correlation method and cross section of the ${}^{16}$O$(e,e^{\prime }pp{)}^{14}$C${}_{g.s.}$ reaction

Abstract

Using the relationship between the two-particle overlap functions (TOF's) and the two-body density matrix (TDM), the TOF's for the ${}^{16}$O$(e,e^{\prime }pp{)}^{14}$C${}_{g.s.}$ reaction are calculated on the basis of a TDM obtained within the Jastrow correlation method. The main contributions of the removal of ${}^1{S}_0$ and ${}^3{P}_1$ $pp$ pairs from ${}^{16}$O are considered in the calculation of the cross section of the ${}^{16}$O$(e,e^{\prime }pp{)}^{14}$C${}_{g.s.}$ reaction using the Jastrow TOF's which include short-range correlations (SRC). The results are compared with the cross sections calculated with different theoretical treatments of the TOF's.
