Abstract
We have measured a new electron scattering observable, the ''fifth'' s tructure function, f01', which is the imaginary part of the transverse -longitudinal interference response. Its observation requires a longit udinally polarized beam and coincident, out-of-plane particle detectio n. f01' arises from interference between reaction channels and provide s an additional means for their disentanglement. In the quasielastic C -12(e over arrow pointing right, e'p) measurements reported here, f01' is driven by the interference of the direct knockout and rescattering amplitudes.
