  We studied the reaction 12C(e,e'p) in quasielastic kinematics at momentum
transfers between 0.6 and 1.8 (GeV/c)^2 covering the single-particle region.
  From this the nuclear transparency factors are extracted using two methods.
The results are compared to theoretical predictions obtained using a
generalization of Glauber theory described in this paper. Furthermore, the
momentum distribution in the region of the 1s-state up to momenta of 300 MeV/c
is obtained from the data and compared to the Correlated Basis Function theory
and the Independent-Particle Shell model.
