Abstract
The $\Delta$-resonance contribution has been included in the (e,e'p) reaction along with Coulomb distortion effects. We treat the resonance via a non-relativistic $\Delta$ current operator and use a Dirac Hartree single-particle model for the ground-state single-particle wave function and a relativistic optical model for the knocked-out proton wave function. It is assumed that the $\pi$-meson created by the virtual photon is absorbed in the target nucleus following the production of a $\Delta$-resonance. Our DWBA calculation shows that the $\Delta$-resonance contribution to the (e,e'p) reaction cross-section is 10-15% for an energy of 250 MeV transfered to the proton knocked out of the s-shell of $\chem{^{40}Ca}$, in the parallel and perpendicular kinematics.
