Hi, I'm sending you a ps file comparing two different bswf for the p1/2 shell and p3/2 shells. We comment first the p1/2 results. Here we compare the results obtained with the nlsh bswf, same as used in our PRL and oyur publication, with other, nl-low, I've recently obtained with a phenomenological lagrangian that I've fine tuned by hand to reproduce the cross-sections at low-pm of Leuschner as closely as possible (and I really got I nice fit). As you see, with only 4 points in the low-pm region it is hard to decide which wave function fits better the data in this region (have a look at the linear plots!). The chi2 is worse for the nl-low result, but this is mostly due to the contribution from the points in the high pm region. I believe that the chi2 for the nlsh wave fucntion is just 'too good'. With only 8 points in total, it is likely that they all happen to be near the curve. This low chi2 makes the error in the sp. factors deduced from nlsh results to be very small (too small, I believe). The important thing is that the sp. factors I get with the nl-low bswf is 0.64(5) with cc1 and 0.66(7) with cc2, to be compared to 0.69(4) and 0.73(2) for the case of the nlsh wave function. Two things: 1) The error is larger for the sp. factors deduced with NL-low. I expect that the nl-low will fit better the results than the nl-sh in general, so having 20 points instead of 8 will reduce the error in the sp-factor deduced from the nl-low bswf, and increase the error of the sp-factor from the nlsh ones. The values of both sets of sp. factors are compatible within the error, but certainly different. I trust better the values obtained with the NL-low bswf. 2) The Rtl and Atl are slightly better reproduced by the new set. With only 4 points in every case, I won't dare to say that this is a definite reason to believe that nl-low is more adequate, but certainly it claims for more experimental points over the whole pm-range!. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Figure for the p3/2 shell: I used here the nl-low wave function but here I compare the effect of the doublet, including in the calculation a 100% of it, 50% or not at all. There is also an effect in the sp. factors, that go from 0.59(8) with 100% of the doublet to 0.63(9) with 0% of the doublet. The values with nlsh wave function would be a 15% higher, approximately, compatible within error bars with the ones from nl-low. I'd like to have more experimental points also in this case, to confirm the problem we have in Rtl in between 50 to 200 MeV, and also to reduce the uncertainty in the sp. factor. It could be that with more points, the chi2 will not decrease much, so the sp. factor obtained with this wave function for this shell will still have a large uncertainty. This would mean than the wave function that fits Leuschner data does not work fine for JLab, and that would mean there is something missing in the treatment of the reaction: MEC or a Q2 dependent effect of correlations or whatever... So far I'd say there is a clue that the agreement of theory and experiment is not so good for this shell as for the p1/2 one, but with only 4 points is hard to see. Finally one comment, the sp. factors I obtained fitting to your data are compatible with the ones I get fitting to Leuschner or Chinitz within error bars, what is not very significant at the moment as the error bar is quite big in one of the cases. Let me know if you want to include any of these curves in the proposal. Regards Jose
