Abstract

Deuteron breakup has been studied in a 2H(e,e' p) coincidence experiment at low momentum transfer and for energies close to threshold. The longitudinal-plus-transverse ( L+T) and longitudinal-transverse ( LT) interference cross sections are deduced. Nonrelativistic calculations based on the Bonn potential and including leading order relativistic contributions, meson exchange currents, and isobar configurations describe the ( L+T) data well. Surprisingly, large deviations of 30% to 45% are observed for the LT contribution.
