Title: Consistent relativistic treatment of the structure of the deuteron and its electromagnetic interactions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:756646

Relativistic calculations of deuteron static properties, the triton binding energy, and deuteron form factors are presented. The results show that the covariant formalism is capable of replacing nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, at least for the description of two and three body systems, and that some significant new insights emerge when the dynamics is described relativistically.
