description

Electrodisintegration of the deuteron near the break-up threshold is a particularly striking example of the existence of exchange currents (EC). While the conventional one-body current contribution grossly underestimates the experimental cross-section up to a momentum transfer of aboutq μ 2 =15 fm−2, the inclusion of EC—dominantly π-MEC—leads to a drastic increase in satisfactory agreement with experimental data up toq 2=9 fm−2.
