On the effects of the final state interaction in the electro-disintegration of the deuteron at intermediate and high energies

Abstract

The role of the final state interactions (FSI) in the inclusive quasi-elastic disintegration of the deuteron is investigated treating the two-nucleon final state within the exact continuum solutions of the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation, as well as within the Glauber multiple scattering approach. It is shown that for values of the Bjorken scaling variable $x_{Bj}\simeq 1$ both approaches provide similar results, unless the case $x_{Bj}\gtrsim 1$, where they appreciably disagree. It is demonstrated that present experimental data, which are mostly limited to a region of four-momentum transfer ($Q^2\lesssim 4(GeV/c{)}^2$) where the Center-of-Mass energy of the final state is below the pion threshold production, can be satisfactorily reproduced by the approach based on the exact solution of the Schroedinger equation and not by the Glauber approach. It is also pointed out that the latter, unlike the former, does not satisfy the inelastic Coulomb sum rule, the violation being of the order of about 20%.
