Abstract
We show that the strong dependence of the amplitude for hard scattering on the collision energy can be used to magnify the effects of short range nucleon correlations in quasielastic scattering. Under specific kinematical conditions the effect of initial and final state interactions can be accounted for by rescaling the cross section calculated within the plane wave impulse approximation. The feasibility to investigate the role of relativistic effects in the deuteron wave function is demonstrated by comparing the predictions of different formalisms. Binding effects due to short range correlations in deuteron are discussed as well.
