Abstract
The spin-momentum correlation parameter A(ed)(V) was measured for the (2)(H) over right arrow((e) over right arrow, e''p)n reaction for missing momenta up to 350 MeV/c at Q(2) = 0.21 (GeV/c)(2) for quasielastic scattering of polarized electrons from vector-polarized deuterium. The data give detailed information about the deuteron spin structure and are in good agreement with the results of microscopic calculations based on realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials and including various spin-dependent reaction mechanism effects. The experiment reveals in a most direct manner the effects of the D state in the deuteron ground-state wave function and shows the importance of isobar configurations for this reaction.
