Polarization observables in high-energy deuteron photo-disintegration within the Quark-Gluon Strings Model

Abstract.Deuteron two-body photodisintegration is analysed within the framework of the Quark-Gluon Strings Model. The model describes fairly well the recent experimental data from TJNAF in the few GeV region. Angular distributions at different $\gamma$-energies are presented and the effect of a forward-backward asymmetry is discussed. New results from the QGSM for polarization observables from 1.5-6 GeV are presented and compared with the available data.
