NUCLEON POLARIZATION IN EXCLUSIVE DEUTERON ELECTRODISINTEGRATION WITHPOLARIZED ELECTRONS AND A POLARIZED TARGET

Nucleon polarization in exclusive electrodisintegration of the deutero n using a polarized beam and an oriented target is systematically inve stigated in a nonrelativistic framework but with lowest order relativi stic contributions to the one-body current including the kinematic par t of the wave function boost. The structure functions and the asymmetr ies corresponding to the various nucleon polarization components are s tudied with respect to their sensitivity to the potential model, to su bnuclear degrees of freedom, and to relativistic effects in different kinematical regions. Furthermore, a few new observables are found whic h are very sensitive to the neutron electric form factor G(En) in the quasifree region.
