Description

The magnetic form factor for the ground state of 6Li has been measured for momentum transfers q = 0.8-2.8 fm-1. The diffraction minimum has been located at q = 1.41 fm-1, and the results extend over the second maximum. All available longitudinal and transverse form factors of 6Li are shown to be consistent with the α-d cluster model providing the d cluster is deformed and aligned. Comparison is made between the elastic and 3.56 MeV M1 form factors, and the effects of exchange currents are considered. The ground-state current density is deduced by a Fourier-Bessel analysis of the elastic M1 data
