General Multipole Expansion of Polarization Observables in Deuteron Electrodisintegration

2002

Formal expressions are derived for the multipole expansion of the structure functions of a general polarization observable of exclusive electrodisintegration of the deuteron using a longitudinally polarized beam and/or an oriented target. This allows one to exhibit explicitly the angular dependence of the structure functions by expanding them in terms of the small rotation matrices $d^j_{m'm}(\theta)$, whose coefficients are given in terms of the electromagnetic multipole matrix elements. Furthermore, explicit expressions for the coefficients of the angular distributions of the differential cross section including multipoles up to $L_{max}=3$ are listed in tabular form.

General formulae for polarization observables in deuteron electrodisintegration and linear relations

1993

Formal expressions are derived for all possible polarization observables in deuteron electrodisintegration with longitudinally polarized incoming electrons, oriented deuteron targets and polarization analysis of outgoing nucleons. They are given in terms of general structure functions which can be determined experimentally. These structure functions are Hermitean forms of theT-matrix elements which, in principle, allow the determination of allT-matrix elements up to an arbitrary common phase. Since the set of structure functions is overcomplete, linear relations among various structure functions exist which are derived explicitly.

Exclusive deuteron electrodisintegration with polarized electrons and a polarized target

1992

Exclusive electrodisintegration of the deuteron using a polarized beam and an oriented target is systematically investigated in a nonrelativistic framework. The structure functions are expanded in terms of Legendre functions whose coefficients are quadratic forms in the electric and magnetic multipole moments. Their experimental separation by specific experimental settings is outlined. The structure functions are studied with respect to their sensitivity to the potential model, to subnuclear degrees of freedom, and to electromagnetic form factors in different kinematical regions.

Nucleon polarization in exclusive deuteron electrodisintegration with polarized electrons and a polarized target

1995

Nucleon polarization in exclusive electrodisintegration of the deuteron using a polarized beam and an oriented target is systematically investigated in a nonrelativistic framework but with lowest order relativistic contributions to the one-body current including the kinematic part of the wave function boost. The structure functions and the asymmetries corresponding to the various nucleon polarization components are studied with respect to their sensitivity to the potential model, to subnuclear degrees of freedom, and to relativistic effects in different kinematical regions. Furthermore, a few new observables are found which are very sensitive to the neutron electric form factor ${\mathit{G}…

Polarization Observables in Deuteron Electrodisintegration

1992

The electrodisintegration of the deuteron with polarized beam and target is investigated. The additional polarization form factors (inclusive reaction) and structure functions (exclusive reaction) are discussed. The sensitivity of these form factors and structure functions to the potential model, to meson and isobar degrees of freedom, and to electromagnetic form factors is studied in different kinematical regions.
