Determination of RL,RT, and RLT in the quasi‐elastic 2H(e,e’p) reaction

Cross sections for the reaction 2H(e,e’p) have been measured at Q2=0.21 (GeV/c)2 under three kinematical conditions such that the longitudinal and transverse structure functions and the longitudinal‐transverse interference structure function could be separately determined. The results are compared to a non‐relativistic calculation by Arenhovel and a relativistic calculation by Hummel and Tjon. Whereas the longitudinal and transverse structure functions are well reproduced by both calculations, a discrepancy is observed between the data and the non‐relativistic calculation for the interference structure function. The relativistic calculation is not in disagreement with the data.
