Deuteron Magnetic and Quadrupole Moments with a Poincaré Covariant Current Operator in the Front-Form Dynamics
nucl-th
/ Abstract
The deuteron magnetic and quadrupole moments are unambiguosly determined within the front-form Hamiltonian dynamics, by using a new current operator which fulfills Poincaré, parity and time reversal covariance, together with hermiticity and the continuity equation. For both quantities the usual disagreement between theoretical and experimental results is largely removed.
