Meson exchange currents and the magnetic form factor of the deuteron
The effect of meson exchange currents on the magnetic form factor of the deuteron is studied. The meson exchange currents depend strongly on the meson-nucleon form factors. The structure function B(q2) is found to be in agreement with the experiment over the entire range of measured momentum transfer, #2<28 fm~2, if the meson-nucleon form factors are chosen in accordance with the quantum-chromodynamics rules. The magnetic form factor of the deuteron is predicted to decrease appreciably if the meson exchange currents are taken into account in the range of momentum transfer q2 > 50 fm-2.
