Abstract
A theoretical description of the electron-induced three-body breakup process is presented. The continuum wave functions for three outgoing nucleons are determined exactly by solution of the Faddeev equations. A local s-wave spin-dependent potential, described by a separable form, is used as two-nucleon input. The response functions of the mirror three-body nuclei are calculated as a function of the energy transfer at momentum transfer values of 300, 400, and 500 MeV/c. It is in particular found that the predictions of the longitudinal response function are well in accordance with the experimenal data when the final-state interactions are taken into account.
