Abstract
The cross section for elastic electron-deuteron scattering was measured in JLab experiment 91-026. The deuteron elastic structure functions A(Q{sup 2}) and B(Q{sup 2}) have been extracted from this data. The final results for the ``electric'' structure function A(Q{sup 2}), in the range of 0.7 less than or equal to Q{sup 2} less than or equal to 6.0 (GeV/c){sup 2} are presented. Preliminary results for the ``magnetic'' structure function B(Q{sup 2}) are presented in the range of 0.7 less than or equal to Q{sup 2} less than or equal to 1.35 (GeV/c){sup 2}. These data are compared with theoretical predictions of both meson-nucleon and quark-gluon based models.
