2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/83203Using a three-dimensional formalism that includes relativistic kinematics, the effects of negative-energy states, approximate boosts of the two-body system, and current conservation we calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron up to $Q^2=6$ GeV$^2$. This is done both in impulse approximation and with a $ρπγ$ meson-exchange current included. The experimentally-measured quantities $A$, $B$, and $T_{20}$ are calculated over the kinematic range probed in recent Jefferson Laboratory experiments. The meson-exchange current provides significant strength in $A$ at large $Q^2$, but has little impact on $B$ or $T_{20}$.5 pages, 5 figures, uses BoxedEPS.texNuclear TheoryNuclear ExperimentElectron-deuteron scattering in a current-conserving description of relativistic bound states: including meson-exchange-current contributionstext
