Abstract

The reaction 12C(p,2pN)10A is considered in the plane wave approximation assuming pole mechanism of the nucleon knock-out from the short-range correlated (SRC) NN-pair. Spectroscopic factors for two nucleons in a definite spin \(S\) and isospin \(T\) states in the 12C nucleus are calculated within the translationally-invariant shell model. The high momentum part of the internal wave function of the NN-pair is replaced by the realistic wave function of the deuteron \((ST = 10)\) or singlet \(^{1}{{S}_{0}}\) deuteron \((ST = 10)\). An estimation of the \(pp{\text{/}}pn\) ratio for the knocked out SRC pairs is performed. Single nucleon momentum distributions in the reaction \(^{{12}}\)C\({{(e,ep)}^{{11}}}\)B have been analyzed within the shell model and on this basis the distributions over the c.m. momentum of the NN-pair in the 12C are calculated with the mean-field and shell models.
