Light-cone QCD predictions for elastic ed-scattering in the intermediate energy region

The contributions of helicity-flip matrix elements to the deuteron form factors are discussed in the light-cone frame. Normalized $A(Q^2)$, $B(Q^2)$, $G_Q(Q^2)$ and $T_{20}$ are obtained in a simple QCD-inspired model. We find that $G_{+-}^+$ plays an important role in $G_Q(Q^2)$. Our numerical results are consistent with the data in the intermediate energy region.
