Backward Elastic p^3He-Scattering and High Momentum components of ^3He Wave Function

Abstract

It is shown that owing to a dominance of $np-$pair transfer mechanism of backward elastic $p^3He$- scattering for incident proton kinetic energies $T_p>1$ GeV the cross section of this process is defined mainly by the values of the Faddeev component of the wave function of $^3He$ nucleus, $\phi ^{23}({\bf q}_{23}, {\bf p}_1)$, at high relative momenta $q_{23}> 0.6 GeV/c$ of the NN-pair in the $^1S_0-$ state and at low spectator momenta $p_1\sim 0-0.2$ GeV/c.
