Trinucleon Threshold Electrodisintegration

Book cover Few-Body Problems in Physics ’93

Abstract

Inclusive inelastic electron scattering cross sections for 3H and 3He were measured for excitation energies below 18 MeV. For six values of the three-momentum transfer q in the range 0.88 < q < 2.87 fm−1, longitudinal and transverse response functions were determined. The experimental data are in good agreement with two recent calculations. One uses variational ground-state wave functions and the orthogonal correlated states method to describe the two- and three-body breakup channels. The other uses bound and continuum Faddeev wave functions for a simple central potential. The inclusion of final-state interactions (FSI) in the Faddeev continuum is found to be very important; inclusion of FSI changes the response functions in the threshold kinematics by a large amount, yielding excellent agreement with the data.
