New method of experimental determination of all three deuteron electromagnetic form factors

Abstract

By elastic scattering of unpolarized electrons on a polarized deuteron target in the direction of the three momenta of the outgoing deuteron and by measuring the vector polarization of the final deuteron in the same direction and at the same values of squared transferred momenta $t$ as the unpolarized elastic electron-deuteron cross-section is measured, one can find out all three deuteron electromagnetic form factors in the space-like region.
