The D(e,e$'$p) reaction at GeV energies

ORAL

Abstract

Currently, several data sets on $D(e,e'p)n$ reactions, taken at Jefferson Lab, are analyzed or have been published recently. A solid theoretical description is necessary in order to understand these data and extract all possible information, both on the reaction mechanism and the nuclear ground state. Final state interactions and relativistic treatment of the current operator are essential. We present the results of a new calculation with a relativistic wave function for the initial deuteron state. We will discuss the sensitivity of various observables to the employed parametrization of the nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitude in the final state, and investigate several observables at high missing momentum.
