Lowest-order QED radiative corrections in unpolarized elastic electron-deuteron scattering beyond the ultra-relativistic limit for the proposed deuteron charge radius measurement at Jefferson Laboratory

Jingyi Zhou, Vladimir Khachatryan, Igor Akushevich +5

Analogous to the well-known proton charge radius puzzle, a similar puzzle exists for the deuteron charge radius, $r_d$. There are discrepancies observed in the results of $r_d$…
