Abstract

Abstract Electrodisintegration of the deuteron has been measured for energy transfers from threshold up to 10 MeV at different angles (30°≦ φ ≦160°) and different incident energies (80≦ E 1 ≦350 MeV). The longitudinal and transverse form factors have been separated in a momentum region between 0.5 and 4 fm −2 . Theoretical calculations including interaction effects give good agreement with the experimental data. The dependence on various nucleon-nucleon potentials was found to be small. The contributions from meson exchange currents and isobar configurations give an enhancement of about 90% of the normal cross section at the highest momentum transfer at backward angles.
