Transverse inelastic electron scattering from the deuteron at high momentum transfers

Cross sections for 180° inelastic electron scattering from the deuteron were measured from the break‐up threshold to beyond the quasielastic peak for incident beam energies between 0.7 and 1.3 GeV, corresponding to 0.75≤Q2≤2.75 (GeV/c)2. The data are in reasonable agreement with nonrelativistic models that include final‐state interactions are meson exchange currents.
