2-BODY CORRELATIONS FROM (E, E'D) REACTIONS - HE-4(E, E'D)H-2 AS A TEST-CASE

The utility of (e, e'd) reactions in providing information about dynam ical correlations in nuclei is discussed. The breakup of He-4 into two deuterons is taken as a model case. We show how two-nucleon dynamics of both short range and tensor nature affects the (e,e'd) cross sectio n in different kinematical regions. The role of final state interactio ns is also discussed. Within our model, kinematical conditions can be chosen to emphasize the sensitivity to a particular aspect of the grou nd state dynamics thereby suggesting promising avenues for experiment.
