Effects of the final state interaction in the electrodisintegration of thedeuteron at intermediate and high energies - art. no. 044601

The role of final state interactions (FSIs) in the inclusive quasielastic d isintegration of the deuteron is investigated treating the two-nucleon fina l state within the exact continuum solutions of the nonrelativistic Schrodi nger equation, as well as within the Glauber multiple-scattering approach. It is shown that for values of the Bjorken scaling variable x(Bj) similar o r equal to 1 both approaches provide similar results, except for the case x (Bj) greater than or similar to 1, where they appreciably disagree. It is d emonstrated that present experimental data, which are mostly limited to a r egion of four-momentum transfer [Q(2) less than or similar to 4 (GeV/c)(2)] where the center-of-mass energy of the final state is below the pion thres hold production, can be satisfactorily reproduced by an approach based on a n exact solution of the Schrodinger equation and not by the Glauber approac h.
