Abstract

Several highly-rated experiments investigated high-energy, hard photodisintegration of the deuteron. We briefly review the results and the theoretical work devoted to understand them. We discuss here the extension of this program to hard photodisintegration of a pp pair in the 3He nucleus. A prediction is that the pp breakup cross section is not much smaller than the one for pn break up, a clear indication to quark-gluon dynamics. In some models, the energy-dependent oscillations observed for pp scattering are predicted to appear in the γ 3He→ pp + n reaction. We also claim that the measurement of the light-cone momentum distribution of the recoil neutron probes the underlying dynamics. The experiment is proposed for Hall A at Jefferson Lab (TJNAF) with beam energies of 2 − 5 GeV.
