Relativistic charge form factor of the deuteron

Description

Relativistic integral representation in terms of experimental neutron-proton scattering phase shifts alone is used to compute the charge form factor of the deuteron GCd(Q2). The results of numerical calculations of |GCd(Q2)| are presented in the interval of the four-momentum transfers squared 0 ≤ Q2 ≤ 35 fm-2. Zero and the prominent secondary maximum in |GCd(Q2)| are the direct consequences of the change of sign in the experimental 3S1 - phase shifts. Till the point Q2 ≅ 20 fm-2 the total relativistic correction to |GCd(Q2)| is positive and reaches the maximal value of 25% at Q2 ≅ 14 fm-2
