Deuteron form factors and the tensor force

Results of a non-relativistic calculation of deuteron form factors are presented for separable potentials with and without tensor force. The tensor term in triplet state is added in such a way as to keep the values of deuteron binding energy,a _t andr _0t unaltered, so that the difference in the form factors can be regarded as the effect of tensor force only. The calculation has been performed for two different shapes of separable potentials and for three differentD-state probabilities to study their comparative effect.
