Quasi-elastic electron scattering from /sup 3/H and /sup 3/He

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6453830
Inelastic electron scattering cross sections of /sup 3/H and /sup 3/He have been measured at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center, at incident energies from 65 to 790 MeV, and two scattering angles. Longitudinal and transverse response functions have been extracted for 3-momentum transfers between 200 and 550 MeV/c. These response functions are compared for the two nuclei, and the single-particle nature of the quasi-elastic process can be seen. The response functions also are compared with theoretical calculations. The Coulomb sum rule is formed for both nuclei; the results agree with an exact theoretical calculation. Indications of saturation and two-proton correlations in the initial state are seen.
