Abstract
The electroproduction of charged \( \rho\) -mesons on the nucleon at intermediate energy is discussed for quasi-elastic kinematics. It is shown that at these kinematics both the longitudinal \( \sigma_{{L}}^{}\) and transverse \( \sigma_{{T}}^{}\) cross-sections are dominated by the \( \rho\) -meson t -pole contribution, and thus the corresponding dσL(T)/dt data can give a valuable information on the \( \rho\) -meson component of the nucleon cloud. The differential cross-sections for the reaction p(e, e ′ \( \rho^{+}_{}\))n at Q 2 = 2 , 3.5GeV^2 and at the invariant mass W = 3 and 4GeV are calculated on the basis of quasi-elastic knockout mechanism with form factors. Questions about the gauge invariance of the electroproduction amplitude are considered and it is noted an important difference between photo- and electroproduction amplitudes.
