[Clascomment] OPT-IN: Tensor Correlations Measured in 3He(e,e′ pp)n

[Larry Weinstein]

Dear Dan,

Either spelling of paramet{e}rization appears to be acceptable:
http://mw4.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/parametrization
For purely idiosyncratic reasons, I prefer the version without the 'e'.

We actually modeled (at least kinematically) the effect of virtual
photon absorption on the struck nucleon, followed by pion emission, with
the pion absorbed by the other two nucleons. That process fails to
describe the data for two reasons:
1) it leads to a very different virtual photon distribution that that
seen in the data (ie: it is not centered around x=1)
2) it gives a minimum relative pair momentum of p_rel = 350 MeV/c,
constrasting with the observed minimum of p_rel = 250.

proton and virtual photon 4-vector?
