Abstract
The cross section for the inelastic electron-deuteron scattering process is calculated using a semirelativistic approximation. The final-state interaction between the outgoing nucleons is estimated using approximate wave functions derived from the Gammel-Thaler potential. The rescattering correction is found to lead to a decrease in the peak value of the cross section, varying from about -5% at an electron momentum transfer of 1.4${\mathrm{F}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ to about -2% at a momentum transfer of 4${\mathrm{F}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. Various relativistic corrections are considered, and an ambiguity in the normalization of the semirelativistic wave functions is discussed. Finally, the neutron form factors are redetermined.
