Title Measurement of the 3^He(e,e'p)pn Reaction at High Missing Energies and Momenta
Abstract We investigate the structure of 3He through the measurement of quasielastic 3He(e,e'). The measurements use the high duty factor electron beam and the high-precision two-spectrometer system in Hall A of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF). The measurements were performed in perpendicular kinematics at fixed momentum and energy transfer by the electron, |{pol}q|= 1.5 GeV/c and omega = 837 MeV, respectively. A description of the reaction in the plane wave impulse approximation is presented. The experimental equipment is described in detail. For the measurements, the kinematics of the experiment are given. The procedures to remove backgrounds and perform radiative corrections, are also discussed in detail. The detailed method of performing radiative corrections in particular is novel to this work. Finally, the resulting cross sections, distorted spectral functions, and asymmetry ATL are presented, and the physics implications are discussed. We extracted cross
