Isoscalar Meson Exchange Currents and the Deuteron Form Factors

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
OSTI ID:954379
The electromagnetic form factors for the RhoPiGamma and wSigmaGamma vertices are calculated from quark loop diagrams which take the qq structure of the Pi, Sigma, Rho, w mesons into account.The resulting form factors decrease with increasing Q2 (the square of the four-momentum of the off-shell photon) considerably more rapidly than the monopole form factors obtained from vector meson dominance.The implications of this behavior, which has a significant effect on the elastic electromagnetic form factors of deuteron, is discussed.
