We study the electrodisintegration of deuteron at quasi-elastic kinematics and high transferred momentum as a probe for the short distance structure in nuclei. In this reaction, an electron hits a nucleus of deuterium, which breaks up into…
We extract the neutron charge form factor from the charge form factor of deuteron obtained from $T_{20}(Q^2)$ data at $0\le Q^2\le$ 1.717 (GeV$^2$). The extraction is based on the relativistic impulse approximation in the instant form of…
