Realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions and the three-body electrodisintegration ofH3

Abstract
The three-body variational wave functions resulting from two realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions featuring different deuteron D-wave probabilities have been used in the calculation of the three-body electrodisintegration of triton in the quasi-elastic region. The angular distributions of the coincidence cross section H3(e,ep)2n are found to depend sensitively upon the D-wave probability in the triton. In the case of the Reid soft core interaction a comparison of the T=1 spectral functions corresponding to the Faddeev and variational wave functions reveals an appreciably larger high momentum content in the latter.
