Abstract

We have determined the ²H(e, e′p)n cross section for neutron recoil momenta between 295 and 500 MeV/c. In this region the ³D₁ state contribution is predominant in the deuteron wave function. The high excitation energy (E_cm^np = 179 MeV) and the small momentum transferred (|;q_cm|;² = 1.66 fm⁻) emphasize the influence of isobar configurations (IC). Experimental data are compared with calculations including isobar contributions, mesonic exchange currents and final state interactions.

Hard probes of short-range nucleonnucleon correlations
2012, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
One of the primary goals of nuclear physics is providing a complete description of the structure of atomic nuclei. While mean-field calculations provide detailed information on the nuclear shell structure for a wide range of nuclei, they do not capture the complete structure of nuclei, in particular the impact of small, dense structures in nuclei. The strong, short-range component of the nucleon–nucleon potential yields hard interactions between nucleons which are close together, generating a high-momentum tail to the nucleon momentum distribution, with momenta well in excess of the Fermi momentum. This high-momentum component of the nuclear wave-function is one of the most poorly understood parts of nuclear structure.
Utilizing high-energy probes, we can isolate scattering from high-momentum nucleons, and use these measurements to examine the structure and impact of short-range nucleon–nucleon correlations. Over the last decade we have moved from looking for evidence of such short-range structures to mapping out their strength in nuclei and examining their isospin structure. This has been made possible by high-luminosity and high-energy accelerators, coupled with an improved understanding of the reaction mechanism issues involved in studying these structures. We review the general issues related to short-range correlations, survey recent experiments aimed at probing these short-range structures, and lay out future possibilities to further these studies.
Covariant separable interaction for the neutron-proton system in 3S<inf>1</inf>-3D<inf>1</inf> partial-wave state
2010, Nuclear Physics A
Within a covariant Bethe–Salpeter approach a rank-six separable neutron–proton interaction kernel for the triplet coupled ${}^{3}S_{1} – {}^{3}D_{1}$ partial-wave state is constructed. Two different methods of a relativistic generalization of initially nonrelativistic form factors parametrizing the kernel are considered. The model parameters are determined by fitting the elastic ${}^{3}S_{1}$ and ${}^{3}D_{1}$ phase shifts and the triplet scattering length as well as the asymptotic $D / S$ ratio of the deuteron wave functions and the deuteron binding energy. The D-state probability constraints 4–7% are taken into account. The deuteron magnetic moment is calculated. The half-off-shell properties are further demonstrated by the Noyes–Kowalski functions. The first test of the constructed kernel is performed by calculating the deuteron electrodisintegration at three different kinematic conditions.
Meson retardation in deuteron electrodisintegration

The situation changes completely if the excitation energy is above pion threshold. As a first example, we consider in Fig. 2 the kinematics Enp=179 MeV, q2=1.66 fm−2 of an experiment by Turck-Chièze et al. [17]. Whereas fT is only moderately affected by retardation, the other structure functions, in particular fL and fLT are much more sensitive to the inclusion of retardation.
The effect of meson retardation in NN-interaction and exchange currents on deuteron electrodisintegration is studied in a coupled channel approach including NN-, NΔ-, and πd-channels. It is shown that the influence of retardation depends on the energy regime: whereas below π-threshold calculations with static and retarded operators yield almost identical results, they differ significantly in the Δ-region. Especially, the longitudinal and the longitudinal-transverse interference structure functions are strongly affected.
Large recoil momenta in the D(e,e′p)n reaction

New observables in 2H(e,e′p)n
1998, Nuclear Physics A
This presentation includes a review of the available data on response functions in the ²H(e,e′p)n reaction. In a set of new measurements, high quality data on the interference response functions have been obtained, and are described here. A discussion of several future measurements is also presented. High quality data on the response functions is essential for the characterization of the electromagnetic currents in the deuteron.
Relativistic effects in the electrodisintegration of deuterium
1997, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The structure function R_LT and the cross-section asymmetry A_φ with respect to the direction of the momentum transfer in the reaction ²H(e, e′ p) have been measured at a four-momentum transfer squared of 0.2 (GeV/c)², for missing momenta between 160 and 220 MeV/c at an invariant mass of 1050 MeV. For a proper description of these data calculations that include a relativistic form of the nucleon current operator are favoured. The absolute ²H(e, e′ p) cross-section data favour a covariant calculation over non-relativistic calculations with relativistic corrections.
