Elastic Electron-Deuteron Scattering

Abstract

We present results on elastic electron-deuteron experiments performed at Orsay. The range of momentum transfers is 0.6 to 2 ${\mathrm{F}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$. Two kinds of measurements have been taken detecting the scattered electron: one with a solid C${\mathrm{D}}_{2}$ target, the other with a liquid target. The data are analyzed with the nonrelativistic theory, which gives slightly positive neutron form factors and a magnetic neutron form factor nearly equal to the magnetic proton form factor.
