2. E05-102: Measurement of A x and A z asymmetries in the quasi-elastic 3 He(e,e'd) reaction Main Physics Goals General: Achieve a better understanding of the ground-state spin structure of 3 He, i.e. improve our understanding of 3 He rather than using it as an effective neutron target. Specific: Test state-of-the-art Faddeev calculations and use these calculations to gain a better understanding of the dynamics and the S' and D wave-function components of 3 He. This is accomplished by making precision measurements of the double polarized 3 He(e,e'd) reaction. Impact: All experiments using 3 He as a polarized neutron target.
