Ground-state correlations and final state interactions in the process 3He(e,e'pp)n

Abstract

The two-proton emission process ${}^{3}He(e,e^{\prime }pp)n$ is theoretically investigated using realistic three-nucleon wave functions and taking the final state interaction into account by an approach which can be used when the value of the three-nucleon invariant mass is either below or above the pion emission threshold. Various kinematical conditions which enhance or minimize the effects of the final state interaction are thoroughly analyzed.
