We report preliminary results of elastic e-d scattering at large momentum transfer performed at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center with use of two high-re solution spectrometers in coincidence. Our results are in sharp disagreement with the mesonexchange calculations, they are in rough agreement with the nonrelativistic potential models, and they are in agreement with the predictions of the quark dimensional-scaling model which pictures the deuteron as a bound state of six quarks at large momentum transfer.
The poor fit by an s'" dependence is due to systematic differences between experiments and the fact that the data do not seem to follow a simple power law.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
