Relativistic effects in deuteron form factors at large q/sup 2/
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Deuteron electromagnetic form factors are calculated in the relativistic impulse approximation for q/sup 2/< or =6 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. Shift in the proton-neutron relative momentum due to Lorentz transformation to the deuteron rest frame is shown to be the most important relativistic kinematical effect. A new treatment of this effect results in a remarkable agreement with the available data. Predictions are made for the tensor polarization in ed elastic scattering. These differ markedly from the standard results.
