γn → π- p process in 4He and 16O

Nuclear transparencies for the fundamental process γn → π^- p on ⁴He and ¹⁶O have been calculated using nucleon configurations obtained from realistic ground-state wave functions by the Monte Carlo method. Comparisons between nuclear transparency results using nucleon configurations and the correlated Glauber approximation are made in the case of (e,e′ p) on ⁴He and ¹⁶O. Furthermore, nuclear transparencies for the γn → π^- p and (e,e′ p) processes have been calculated including a color transparency effect.
