Non-factorized calculation of the process 3He(e,e'p)pn at medium energies

The cross section and the transverse-longitudinal asymmetry A_{TL} of the three-body-break-up (3BBU) process 3He(e,e&#39;p)pn have been calculated by a non-factorized and parameter-free approach based upon realistic few-body wave functions corresponding to the $AV18$ interaction, treating the rescattering of the struck nucleon within a generalized eikonal approximation. The results of calculations exhibit a good agreement with recent JLab experimental data and show that the Final State Interaction (FSI) of the struck proton in the region of missing momentum 300 < p_m < 600 MeV/c and removal energy E_m > p_m^2/4m_N is dominated by single nucleon rescattering, in agreement with nucleon-nucleon correlation predictions.
