Two-body electrodisintegration of 3He at large recoil momentum

Abstract The two-body breakup of 3 He by 390 MeV electrons has been studied with good missing energy resolution for recoil momenta p R of 200 up to 500 MeV/ c . Both the 3 He(e,e′p) 2 H and 3 He(e,e′d) 1 H channel were employed to obtain the data. We discuss a possible excess of high momentum components in the framework of two theoretical treatments of the reaction that include the final state interaction and employ Faddeev bound-state wave functions. Within the context of these models no clear indication for such an excess in the two-body breakup channel can be assessed.
