Introduction In an electron storage ring, neutrons are generated as a result of the electron beam interaction with high-Z materials, such as scrapers and collimators [1]. When the energy of the incident electron beam is sufficiently high, it can produce high-energy photons, which subsequently interact with a nucleus, resulting in the emission of nucleons. This interaction is known as a photonuc...

The existing experimental data for the deuteron charge radius are discussed. The data of elastic electron scattering are inconsistent with the value obtained in a recent atomic physics experiment. Theoretical predictions based on a nonrelativistic description of the deuteron with realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials and with a rather complete set of meson-exchange contributions to the charge op...

A new design is presented for a time-ofight neutron spectrometer that uses a shaped scattering foil to generate deuteron recoils. It is shown that the number of recoils can be substantially increased by utilizing a three-dimensional, deuterated scattering foil in the shape of an ellipsoid, which maintains the time-ofight dispersion present originally in the neutrons. The time-integrated neutron...

Two-proton and two-deuteron correlations have been studied in the target fragmentation region of central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV. Protons and deuterons were measured with the Plastic Ball spectrometer of the WA98 experiment at the CERN SPS. The results of one-dimensional and multi-dimensional analyses using both the Bertsch-Pratt and Yano-Koonin-Podgoretsky parameterizations of the two-pa...

Conceptually, radii are amongst the simplest Poincar\'e-invariant properties that can be associated with hadrons and light nuclei. Accurate values of these quantities necessary so one may judge character putative solutions to strong interaction problem within Standard Model. However, limiting their ability serve in this role, recent measurements new analyses older data have revealed uncertainti...

We review1 some recent results for elastic electron deuteron scattering (deuteron form factors) and photodisintegration of the deuteron, with emphasis on the recent high energy data from Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). DEUTERON WAVE FUNCTIONS AND FORM FACTORS Calculations of deuteron form factors and photo and electrodisintegration to the NN final state require a deuteron wave function. The best n...

We calculate elastic electron–deuteron scattering in a chiral effective field theory approach for few–nucleon systems based on a modified Weinberg power counting. We construct the current operators and the deuteron wave function at next-to-leading order (NLO) simultaneously within a projection formalism. The leading order comprises the impulse approximation of photons coupling to point-like nuc...
