GENERAL FORMULAS FOR POLARIZATION OBSERVABLES IN DEUTERON ELECTRODISINTEGRATION AND LINEAR RELATIONS

Formal expressions are derived for all possible polarization observabl es in deuteron electrodisintegration with longitudinally polarized inc oming electrons, oriented deuteron targets and polarization analysis o f outgoing nucleons. They are given in terms of general structure func tions which can be determined experimentally. These structure function s are Hermitean forms of the T-matrix elements which, in principle, al low the determination of all T-matrix elements up to an arbitrary comm on phase. Since the set of structure functions is overcomplete, linear relations among various structure functions exist which are derived e xplicitly.
