Abstract |
|
|
| Polarization obserables in elastic electron-deuteron scattering are predicted and compared
with recent experimental data. Particular attention is paid to the tensor-deuteron
analyzing power T20 and the beam-vector-deuteron analyzing power Te
11 because of
their importance in extracting the deuteron electromagnetic form factors which provide
an intuitive picture of the internal deuteron structure. This study is made possible with
the advent of recent polarization measurements at JLab and MIT-Bates with polarized
electron beam and polarized deuteron target. The sensitivity of the results to deuteron
wave functions of different high-precision NN potentials is investigated. We found
that the analyzing powers, predicted using different NN potentials, agree with one another
and with experimental data. The T20 asymmetry is found to be slightly dependent
on the electron scattering angle up to µe 120±, whereas the analyzing power Te
11 is
found to be sensitive to the electron angle. |
