Two-step contribution to the spin-longitudinal and spin-transverse cross   sections of the quasielastic (p,n) reactions
  The two-step contribution to the spin-longitudinal and the spin-transverse cross sections of ^{12}C,^{40}Ca(p,n) reactions at 494 MeV and 346 MeV is calculated. We use a plane-wave approximation and evaluate the relative contributions from the one-step and the two-step processes. We found that the ratios of the two-step to the one-step processes are larger in the spin-transverse cross sections than in the spin-longitudinal ones. Combining these results with the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA) results we obtained considerable two-step contributions to the spin-longitudinal and the spin-transverse cross sections. The two-step processes are important in accounting for the underestimation of the DWIA results for the spin-longitudinal and the spin-transverse cross sections.
