Polarization Observables and Forward-Backward Asymmetry in High-Energy Deuteron Photodisintegration Within the Quark-Gluon Strings Model

Deuteron two-body photodisintegration is analysed within the framework of the Quark-Gluon Strings Model. The model describes fairly well the recent experimental data from TJNAF in the few GeV region. Angular distributions at different γ-energies are presented and the effect of a forward-backward asymmetry is discussed. Results for polarization observables from 1.5-6 GeV are presented and compared with available data.
