Abstract:
The influence of relativistic contributions to deuteron electrodisintegration is systematically studied in various kinematic regions of energy and momentum transfer. As theoretical framework the equation-of-motion and the unitarily equivalent S-matrix approaches are used. In a (p/M)-expansion, all leading order relativistic π\pi-exchange contributions consistent with the Bonn OBEPQ model are included. In addition, static heavy meson exchange currents including boost terms, γπρ/ω\gamma\pi\rho/\omega-currents, and Δ\Delta-isobar contributions are considered. Sizeable effects from the various relativistic two-body contributions, mainly from π\pi-exchange, have been found in inclusive form factors and exclusive structure functions for a variety of kinematic regions.
