The threshold electrodisintegration of the deuteron was measured with good energy resolution to a maximum four-momentum transfer squared of 42 fm-2. The data are compared with meson exchange calculations that show sensitivity to the choice of exchange-current form factor, the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, and the nucleon-nucleon potential. While conventional theories can give a reasonable description of the data, comparison of the data with quark cluster calculations shows poor agreement.

Electron scattering from C was measured at a momentum transfer of 5.08 fm . No electron events were observed in the vicinity of the elastic peak, giving an upper limit for the elastic cross section of 1.2 x 10 cm /sr with a confidence level of 90%. At this momentum transfer, the square of the elastic M1 form factor apparently continues to fall exponentially with q. Comparison of the data with shell-model calculations indicates that admixtures of 2hu configurations in the C ground state cannot entirely explain the high-q enhancement of the Ml form factor relative to 1p-shell calculations.
