Abstract

We have measured the deuteron magnetic form factor $B (q^{2})$ for values of the momentum transfer squared between 7 and 28 ${fm}^{- 2}$ . The data are compared with relativistic and nonrelativistic predictions including meson-exchange-current contributions. Significant disagreement is found for large momentum transfers.
