A comparison between polarization-transfer to a bound proton in quasi-free kinematics by the A (e→, e′ p→) knockout reaction and that in elastic scattering off a free proton can provide information on the characteristics of the bound proton. In the past the reported measurements have been compared to those of a free proton with zero initial momentum. We introduce, for the first time, expressions for the polarization-transfer components when the proton is initially in motion and compare them to the 2 H data measured at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI). We show the ratios of the transverse (P x) and longitudinal (P z) components of the polarization transfer in H 2 (e→, e′ p→) n, to those of elastic scattering off a “moving proton”, assuming the proton's initial (Fermi-motion) momentum equals the negative missing momentum in the measured reaction. We found that the correction due to the proton motion is up to 20% at high missing momentum. However the effect on the double ratio (P x/P z) A (P x/P z) H 1 is largely canceled out, as shown for both 2 H and 12 C data. This implies that the difference between the resting-and the moving-proton kinematics is not the primary cause for the deviations between quasi-elastic and elastic scattering reported previously.
