Abstract
The features of elastic electron‐deuteron scattering for O?q2<200 fm−2 are reviewed. The complete set of three observables, electric and magnetic scattering and tensor polarization is examined. The contribution of a variety of relativistic and meson exchange current corrections (including isobar terms) is considered in conjunction with the impulse approximation from several nucleon force models. A phenomenological way of handling unknown, short range meson exchange current effects is described. It is shown that with the meager data presently available there is some information about which nucleon forces may be consistent over a range of q2 and what the meson exchange current corrections are that go with such models. Experiments which are most likely to give information on models and meson exchange currents are discussed for several ranges of q2.
