Abstract
Deuteron electromagnetic form factors are calculated in the relativistic impulse approximation for ${q}^{2}<~6$ ${(\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathit{c})}^{2}$. Shift in the proton-neutron relative momentum due to Lorentz transformation to the deuteron rest frame is shown to be the most important relativistic kinematical effect. A new treatment of this effect results in a remarkable agreement with the available data. Predictions are made for the tensor polarization in ed elastic scattering. These differ markedly from the standard results.
