Deuteron Threshold Electrodisintegration At High Momentum Transfer, W M. Schmitt, K S. Lee, H Baghaei, S Churchwell, R S. Hicks, R Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, K Wang

Gerald Alvin Peterson

Absolute differential cross sections for the threshold electrodisintegration of the deuteron with good resolution were measured at a laboratory scattering angle of 160° for five values of Q2 ranging from 8.66 to 42.4fm-2. Comparisons of the data averaged over Enp from 0 to 3 MeV and from 0 to10 MeV are made with nonrelativistic meson exchange calculations. These calculations are sensitive to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, nucleon-nucleon potential, and relativistic effects. The data are also compared with a hybrid quark-hadron model calculation that describes the deuteron as a six-quark cluster for the short range part of the interaction. Some …
