Emission of neutron-proton and proton-proton pairs in electron scattering induced by meson-exchange currents. Physical Review C - Nuclear Physics, 94, 054610-1-054610-4.05562813http://hdl.handle.net/11441/57201We use a relativistic model of meson-exchange currents to compute the proton-neutron and proton-proton yields in (e,e ) scattering from 12C in the 2p-2h channel. We compute the response functions and cross section with the relativistic Fermi gas model for a range of kinematics from intermediate- to high-momentum transfers. We find a large contribution of neutron-proton configurations in the initial state, as compared to proton-proton pairs. The different emission probabilities of distinct species of nucleon pairs are produced in our model only by meson-exchange currents, mainly by the isobar current.We also analyze the effect of the exchange contribution and show that the direct-exchange interference strongly affects the determination of the np/pp ratio.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
