Abstract
We discuss the applicability of pQCD to the elastic scattering of electrons on protons and deuterons. We analyze the -dependence of the reduced deuteron form factor, taking into account the recent data on the electric proton form factor and we find that the value of the QCD-scale parameter differs essentially from the value GeV, previously found using the dipole parametrization of the electromagnetic nucleon form factors and . Moreover the predicted scaling behavior of the reduced deuteron form factor can not be recovered in the Dirac and Pauli representations for the nucleon electromagnetic form factors.
