Calculation of the cross section and the transverse-longitudinal asymmetry of the process 3He(e,e'p)pn at medium energies within the unfactorized generalized Glauber approach

The cross section and the transverse-longitudinal asymmetry A TL of the three-body breakup process 3 He(e,e'p)pn have been calculated by a parameter-free approach based upon realistic few-body wave functions corresponding to the AV18 interaction, treating the rescattering of the struck nucleon within the unfactorized generalized eikonal approximation. The results of calculations exhibit a good agreement with recent JLab experimental data and show the dominant role played by the final state interaction, which, however, in the region of missing momentum, 300 ≲ p m ≲ 60 0MeV/c, and removal energy corresponding to the two-body kinematic peak and higher, E m ≳ p 2 m /4m N , is dominated by single-nucleon rescattering, providing evidence that the final state interaction is mainly due to the one between the struck nucleon and a nearby correlated one.
