Experimental studies of the dilepton emission from Nucleon-Nucleon interactions below pion production threshold

摘要

The real- and virtual-photon emission during interactions between few-nucleon systems have been investigated at KVI with a 190 MeV proton beam. Here I will concentrate on the discussion of the results of the virtual-photon emission for the proton-proton system and proton-deuteron capture. Predictions of a fully-relativistic microscopic-model of the proton-proton interaction are discussed. For the proton-deuteron capture process the data is compared with predictions of a relativistic gauge-invariant impulse approximation and a Faddeev calculation. For the virtual photon processes, the nucleonic electromagnetic response functions were obtained for the first time and are compared to model predictions. [References: 20]
