SCATTERING OF POLARIZED ELECTRONS FROM POLARIZED TARGETS - COINCIDENCE REACTIONS AND PRESCRIPTIONS FOR POLARIZED HALF-OFF-SHELL SINGLE-NUCLEON CROSS-SECTIONS

Coincidence reactions of the type A over arrow pointing right(e over arrow pointing right e'N)B involving the scattering of polarized electrons from polarized targets are discussed within the context of the plane-wave impulse approximation. Prescriptions are developed for polarized half-off-shell single-nucleon cross sections; the different prescriptions are compared for typical quasi-free kinematics. Illustrative results are presented for coincidence polarized electron scattering from typical polarized nuclei.
