Measurements of the Deuteron Elastic Structure Function A\(Q2\) for 0.7 <= Q2 <= 6.0 \(GeV/c\)2 at Jefferson Laboratory
Abstract
The deuteron elastic structure function A\(Q2\) has been extracted in the range 0.7<=Q2<=6.0 \(GeV/c\)2 from cross section measurements of elastic electron-deuteron scattering in coincidence using the Hall A Facility of Jefferson Laboratory. The data are compared to theoretical models, based on the impulse approximation with the inclusion of meson-exchange currents, and to predictions of quark dimensional scaling and perturbative quantum chromodynamics.
