Title Measurement of double polarized asymmetries in quasi-elastic processes ${}^3\vec{He}(\vec{e},e' d)$ and ${}^3\vec{He}(\vec{e},e' p)$
Abstract This thesis is dedicated to a study of a spin-isospin structure of the polarized ${}^3\mathrm{He}$. First, an introduction to the spin structure of ${}^3\mathrm{He}$ is given, followed by a brief overview of past experiments. The main focus of the thesis is the E05-102 experiment at Jefferson Lab, in which the reactions ${}^3\vec{\mathrm{He}}(\vec{\mathrm{e}},\mathrm{e'} \mathrm{d})$ and ${}^3\vec{\mathrm{He}}(\vec{\mathrm{e}},\mathrm{e'} \mathrm{p})$ in the quasi-elastic region were studied. The purpose of this experiment was to better understand the effects of the S'- and D-state contributions to the ${}^3\mathrm{He}$ ground-state wave-functions by a precise measurement of beam-target asymmetries $A_x$ and $A_z$ in the range of recoil momenta from 0 to about $300 \mathrm{MeV}/c$. The experimental equipment utilized in these measurements is described, with special attention devoted to the calibration of the hadron spectrometer, BigBite. Results on the measured asymmetries are prese
