The ratio of the transverse and longitudinal components of polarization transfer to protons in the quasielastic ($\vec{e}, e'\vec{p}$) reaction, $P'_x/P'_z$, is sensitive to the proton’s electromagnetic form factor ratio, $G_E/G_M$. To explore densitydependent in-medium modifications, a comparison of polarization transfer ratios involving protons from distinct nuclear shells, each with different local nuclear densities, has been proposed. In this study, we present such comparisons between four shells, $1s_{1/2}$,$1p_{3/2}$ in $^{12}$C and $1d_{3/2}$,$2s_{1/2}$ in $^{40}$Ca. In an effort to account for other many-body effects that may differ between shells, we use a state-of-the-art relativistic distorted-wave impulseapproximation (RDWIA) calculation and present the double ratios $(P'_x/P'_z)_{\mathrm{Data}}/(P'_x/P'_z)_{\mathrm{RDWIA}}$ as well as the superratios $[(P'_x/P'_z)_\mathrm{A}/(P'_x/P'_z)_\mathrm{B}]_{\mathrm{Data}}/[(P'_x/P'_z)_\mathrm{A}/(P'_x/P'_z)_\mathrm{B}]_{\mathrm{RDWIA}}$, for chosen shells A and B, as a function of effective local nuclear densities. We find that double ratios for individual shells show a dependence on the probed effective nuclear densities. Studying the super-ratios, we observed a systematic variation between pairs of higher- and lower-density shells.
