Investigation of the exclusive 3He(e,e' pn)1H reaction.

Cross sections for the 3He(e,e' pn)1H reaction were measured for the first time at energy transfers of 220 and 270 MeV for several momentum transfers ranging from 300 to 450 MeV/c. Cross sections are presented as a function of the momentum of the recoil proton and the momentum transfer. Continuum Faddeev calculations using the Argonne V18 and Bonn-B nucleon-nucleon potentials overestimate the measured cross sections by a factor 5 at low recoil proton momentum with the discrepancy becoming smaller at higher recoil proton momentum.

3He spin-dependent cross sections and sum rules.

We present a measurement of the spin-dependent cross sections for the 3He over -->(e over -->,e')X reaction in the quasielastic and resonance regions at a four-momentum transfer 0.1< or =Q2< or =0.9 GeV2.

Resolving the discrepancy of 135 MeV pd elastic scattering cross sections and relativistic effects.

Three precise measurements for elastic pd scattering at 135 MeV/A have been performed with the three different experimental setups. The cross sections are described well by the theoretical predictions based on modern nucleon-nucleon forces combined with three-nucleon forces. Relativistic Faddeev calculations show that relativistic effects are restricted to backward angles.

Measurement of the exclusive 3He(e,e'p) reaction below the quasielastic peak.

New, high-precision measurements of the 3He(e,e(')p) reaction using the A1 Collaboration spectrometers at the Mainz microtron MAMI are presented. These were performed in antiparallel kinematics at energy transfers below the quasielastic peak, and at a central momentum transfer of 685 MeV/c. Cross sections and distorted momentum distributions were extracted and compared to theoretical predictions and existing data.

The hypernuclei (4)(lambda)He and (4)(lambda)H: challenges for modern hyperon-nucleon forces.

The hypernuclei (4)(Lambda)He and (4)(Lambda)H provide important information on the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We present accurate Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for the Lambda separation energies of the 0(+) ground and the 1(+) excited states based on the Nijmegen SC YN interactions. We explicitly take the Sigma admixture into account.
