Abstract

The well-known coupling of the photon with the nucleon together with the fact that photons (or any electromagnetic (e.m.) probe) interact only relatively weakly with nucleons, make bremsstrahlung production an ideal tool to study details of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. In this thesis dilepton production (e+e-) in proton-proton scattering, pp -> ppe+e-, and proton-deuteron capture, p+d->3He+e++e-, has been discussed. According to quantum electrodynamics (QED), the dileptons in these reactions can be described by the emission of a massive virtual photon. Consequently, these processes add new information to what can already be obtained by studying real-photon production.... Zie: Summary outlook and conclusions
