Relativistic one-boson-exchange model and elastic electron-deuteron scattering at high momentum transfer

Abstract

Using the one-boson-exchange model a relativistic covariant analysis is carried out of the elastic electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron including the \ensuremath{\rho}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\gamma} and \ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\epsilon}\ensuremath{\gamma} mesonic-exchange-current contributions. The theoretical predictions are compared with the recent experimental data at high momentum transfer.
