Understanding $^{3}$He Nuclei via Quasi-elastic $^{3}$He(e,e'd) and $^{3}$3He(e,e'p) Asymmetry Measurements

Two-body calculations using realistic wave-functions predicted that the D(e,e'p) asymmetry varies strongly as a function of missing momentum. This prediction has been tested in quasi-elastic D(e,e'p)n experiments in which the predicted sign change of the asymmetry has been observed when the missing momentum is larger than the Fermi momentum. The $\stackrel{\rightarrow}{\rm{^{3}He}}$($\vec{\rm{e,}}\rm{e'p})$ and $\stackrel{\rightarrow}{\rm{^{3}He}}$($\vec{\rm{e,}}\rm{e'd})$ reaction channels have also been calculated using state-of-the-art Faddeev calculations, and the results indicate that the asymmetry as a function of missing momentum is likewise sensitive to the initial-state wave-function. For Jefferson Lab experiment E05-102, we measured the double spin asymmetries A$_{x}$ and A$_{z}$ in the range of recoil momenta from 0 to $\sim$ 200 MeV/c for the quasi-elastic and x$>$1 $\stackrel{\rightarrow}{\rm{^{3}He}}$($\vec{\rm{e,}}\rm{e'p})$ and $\stackrel{\rightarrow}{\rm{^{3}He}}$($\vec{\rm{e,}}\rm{e'd})$ channels. An overview of experiment will be discussed including an update on the analysis progress.
