Angular correlations for the 12C(e,en)11C reaction in the giant resonance region have been measured for forward scattering at an effective momentum transfer of 0.35 fm-1. The angular correlation for the ground-state transition indicates a strong forward-backward asymmetry at the peak of the giant dipole resonance (ω = 22.5 MeV), which is different from the nearly symmetric angular correlations observed for the 12C(e,ep0)11B reaction. Recent random-phase approximation predictions fail to reproduce the experimental angular correlations for both (e,en0) and (e,ep0), predicting the opposite patterns to those observed.
