Abstract

The cross section for elastic electron-deuteron scattering was measured for ten four-momentum transfers squared in the range 5fm−2<q2<14fm−2. From the measured cross sections the sum A(q2) of charge and quadrupole form factors was determined. The experimental values are compared with theoretical predictions including relativistic corrections. Different deuteron wave functions and different parametrizations for the electric neutron form factor GEN were used. The best fit to the experimental data was found with the wave function of Feshbach-Lomon and the parametrization: GEN(q2)=−μN1+5.6τGEP(q2), τ=q24m2
