Abstract
Point-form relativistic quantum mechanics is applied to elastic
electron-deuteron scattering. The deuteron is modeled using relativistic
interactions that are scattering-equivalent to the nonrelativistic Argonne
$v_{18}$ and Reid '93 interactions. A point-form spectator approximation (PFSA)
is introduced to define a conserved covariant current in terms of
single-nucleon form factors. The PFSA is shown to provide an accurate
description of data up to momentum transfers of 0.5 ${\rm GeV}^2$, but falls
below the data at higher momentum transfers. Results are sensitive to the
nucleon form factor parameterization chosen, particularly to the neutron
electric form factor.
