Abstract
We have studied the quasielastic reaction in perpendicular coplanar kinematics, with the energy and the momentum transferred by the electron fixed at 840 MeV and , respectively. The cross section was measured for missing momenta up to , while the asymmetry was extracted for missing momenta up to . For missing momenta up to , the cross section is described by variational calculations using modern wave functions. For missing momenta from 150 to , strong final-state interaction effects are observed. Near , the experimental cross section is more than an order of magnitude larger than predicted by available theories. The asymmetry displays characteristic features of broken factorization with a structure that is similar to that generated by available models.
