Out-of-Plane Measurement of theD(e, e′p)Coincidence Cross Section

Abstract

The $\mathrm{D}(e, e^{\prime }p)$ coincidence cross section was measured at angles out of the plane, at an excitation energy of approximately 18 MeV and a momentum transfer of 0.33 ${\mathrm{fm}}^{-1\mathrm{}}$. This is the first reported measurement of the longitudinal-transverse and transverse-transverse interference terms of the electrodisintegration cross section of the deuteron. The longitudinal plus transverse cross section is also reported. The results are in good agreement with a theoretical calculation carried out with use of the Paris potential.
