Electroproduction of pions on the three-nucleon systems

The electroproduction of pions on {sup 3}He is being studied with the assumption that the basic pion production mechanisms can be described by the N(e,e{prime}{pi}) model developed by Nozawa and Lee. In the impulse approximation, the {sup 3}He(e,e{prime}{pi}) cross section is then determined from the N and {Delta} spectral functions generated from Hannover`s three-body calculation including the {Delta}. The objective is to investigate the effects due to the {Delta} components in {sup 3}He, as suggested by Lipkin and Lee. This is being investigated by calculating the ratio between {sup 3}He(e,e{prime}{pi}{sup +}p) and {sup 3}He(e,e{prime}{pi}{sup -}). In a calculation for {sup 3}He(e,e{prime}{pi}{sup +}p) at very high momentum transfer, questions concerning color transparency of {Delta}{sup ++} propagation can be addressed.
