Abstract

We investigate the effects of two-body currents on elastic electron-deuteron scattering in an exactly Poincareacute invariant quantum mechanical model with a null-plane kinematic symmetry. While calculations using single-nucleon currents as input produce good qualitative agreement with experiment, the two-body current that we investigate produces a good quantitative agreement between theory and experiment for all three elastic scattering observables.
