The 12C(p,2p)11B Reaction at 100 MeV

The 12C(p,2p)l1B reaction has been measured at 100 MeV in both symmetric and asymmetric geometries. Distorted wave impulse approximation calculations were used to obtain spectroscopic factors for all states of l1B below 7 MeV excitation. From these spectroscopic factors and the shapes of the measured angular correlations, it is concluded that (i) no large 1f components are present in the wavefunction of the ground state of 12C and (ii) this experiment gives no evidence for the formation of giant resonances as the intermediate step in multistep reaction processes to the 4 44 MeV (5/2-) and 6 74 MeV (7/2-) states of 11B.
