Precision Measurement of the Spin-dependent Asymmetry in the Threshold Region of $^3\vec{\mathrm{He}}(\vec{e},e')$

Abstract

We present the first precision measurement of the spin-dependent asymmetry in the threshold region of $^3\vec{\rm He}(\vec{e},e')$ at $Q^2$-values of 0.1 and 0.2 (GeV/c)$^2$. The agreement between the data and non-relativistic Faddeev calculations which include both final-state interactions (FSI) and meson-exchange currents (MEC) effects is very good at $Q^2$ = 0.1 (GeV/c)$^2$, while a small discrepancy at $Q^2$ = 0.2 (GeV/c)$^2$ is observed.
