Proton propagation in nuclei was studied using the (e,elp ) reaction in the quasifree region. The coincidence (e,elp) cross sections were measured at an electron angle of 50.4" and proton angles of 50. lo, 58.2", 67.9", and 72.9" for I2C, "~1 , 58Ni, and I8'Ta targets at a beam energy of 779.5 MeV. The average outgoing proton energy was 180 MeV. The ratio of the ( e , e l p ) yield to the simultaneously measured (e, e') yield was compared to that calculated in the plane-wave impulse approximation and an experimental transmission defined. These experimental transmissions are considerably larger (a factor of -2 for 1 8 '~a ) than those one would calculate from the free N-N cross sections folded into the nuclear density distribution. A new calculation that includes medium effects (N-N correlations, density dependence of the N-N cross sections and Pauli suppression) accounts for this increase.
