Spin orbit effects in quasifree knockout reactions

Abstract
An efficient calculational method for distorted wave impulse approximation analyses of quasifree knockout reactions is described. Since the usual Racah algebra is eliminated, it is straightforward to include spin-orbit distortions. Results are presented for 150 MeV (p, 2p) and (p, pn) reactions. In some cases the effects of the spin-orbit terms are large.
