Abstract

Proton knock-out is studied in a broad program in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. The first experiment performed in Hall A studied the ¹⁶O(e,e'p) reaction. Since then proton knock-out experiments have studied a variety of aspects of that reaction, from single-nucleon properties to its mechanism, such as final-state interactions and two-body currents, in nuclei from ²H to ¹⁶O. In this review the accomplishments of this program will be summarized and an outlook given of expected future results.
