Electron-Induced Breakup of 3He: Past Achievements, Ongoing Efforts, and a Wish List

The 3 He nucleus is a calculable nuclear system (Carlson and Schiavilla in Rev Mod Phys 70:743, 1998) for which our theoretical understanding can be compared with data to an increasingly accurate degree.

Description
Summary:The 3 He nucleus is a calculable nuclear system (Carlson and Schiavilla in Rev Mod Phys 70:743, 1998) for which our theoretical understanding can be compared with data to an increasingly accurate degree. In turn, the theory faces extensive precise data sets from a series of experiments. Two laboratories are leading the way: MAMI/A1 and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF). This paper reviews some of the outstanding current experimental efforts with (polarized or unpolarized) electron scattering on (polarized or unpolarized) 3 He targets in these laboratories.
