Introduction to the Discussion Session on Photo- and Electrodisintegration of the Deuteron

subject

description

This session is exclusively devoted to the electromagnetic break-up of the deuteron. It reflects the fact that notwithstanding its long history deuteron photo- and electrodisintegration is still an active and interesting field of research (for a recent review on photodisintegration see [1]). The purpose of this introduction is — on the one hand — to put the various contributions to this session into a general perspective and — on the other hand — to supply complimentary material of interesting recent experimental results which is of relevance to the general theme.
