Measurement of the deuteron elastic structure functions A(Q{sup 2}) and B(Q{sup 2}) at large momentum transfers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:804142
The cross section for elastic electron-deuteron scattering was measured in Jefferson Lab experiment 91-026. The deuteron elastic structure functions A(Q{sup 2}) and B(Q{sup 2}) have been extracted from the data. The final results for the electric structure function, A(Q{sup 2}), in the range of 0.7<or=Q{sup 2}<or=6.0 (GeV/c){sup 2}, are presented. Preliminary results for the magnetic structure function, B(Q{sup 2}), are presented in the range of 0.7<or=Q{sup 2}<or=1.35 (GeV/c)2. These data are compared to the theoretical predictions of both meson-nucleon and quark-gluon based models.
