Abstract: (APS)
We have examined the behavior of the forward-to-backward ratio R of the cross section for the H2(γ,p)n reaction. The data show a weak dependence of R on the photon energy and group around a value of 1.5 which agrees with the prediction of a simple quark model. An energy dependence of R is predicted in the quark-gluon string model and is shown to be connected to the ratio of d/u quark distributions in the proton.
