Polarization transfer to bound protons measured by quasielastic electron scattering on C-12

We report the measurements of the transverse (P-x') and longitudinal (P-z') components of the polarization transfer to a bound proton in carbon via the quasifree C-12((e) over right arrow, e',(p) over right arrow) reaction, over a wide range of missing momenta. We determine these polarization transfers separately for protons knocked out from the s and p shells. The electron-beam polarization was measured to determine the individual components with systematic uncertainties which allow a detailed comparison with theoretical calculations.
