Empirical transverse charge densities in the deuteron

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-07-22 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Using the recent empirical information on the deuteron electromagnetic form factors we map out the transverse charge density in the deuteron as viewed from a light front moving towards the deuteron. The charge densities for a transversely polarized deuteron are characterized by monopole, dipole and quadrupole patterns.
