Quark-exchange Effects in a Deuteron Breakup at Intermediate Energy

Abstract

Microscopical approach to a deuteron breakup at high and intermediate energies is proposed. We show that the quark exchange effects, resulting from the full asymmetry of the $6q$-deuteron wave function with respect to the pair permutations of quark variables, strongly affect the proton momentum distribution in the deuteron, as well as the polarization observables of inclusive deuteron breakup, when the ``internal momentum'' in the deuteron is of order of a few hundreds MeV/c.
