- Deuteron monopole form factor: A more precise determination of
the deuteron monopole form factor, especially the location of the minimum,
is required to test our understanding of the isoscalar charge response more
stringently.
- Deuteron photodisintegration: Existing data suggest that the
validity of constituent counting occurs above a threshold in transverse
momentum. A new experiment will extend these data to a photon energy of 4
GeV, allowing further exploration of the possible threshold effect in
and the validity of constituent counting at these energies.
- Few-body system form factors: Data on the elastic form factors
of the A=3 and 4 systems can be dramatically extended in (to the
next maximum) which will present a significant challenge to hitherto
extremely successful exact calculations in non-relativistic few-body
theory.
- Nuclear wavefunctions at high momentum: The high-momentum
content of nuclear wavefunctions and, more generally, the correlation
structure of many-body systems remains largely terra incognita,
especially for momentum transfers > 500 MeV/c.
- Photon absorption: Large acceptance detectors will allow
multiparticle final states to be detected and thereby elucidate the
mechanisms of real and virtual photon absorption.
