Two-proton overlap functions in the Jastrow correlation method and cross section of the 16O(e,e'pp)14C reaction

The two-proton overlap functions for the 16O(e,e'pp)14C reaction are calculated on the basis of a two-body density matrix obtained within the Jastrow correlation method which incorporates short-range correlations. The resulting overlap functions are applied to calculate cross sections of the 16O(e,e'pp)14C reactions leading to the 0+ ground and the 1+ ~11.3-MeV! excited states of the residual nucleus. The results are compared with thecross sections calculated with different theoretical treatments of the two-nucleon overlap functions.
