Measurement of the Magnetic Structure Function of the Deuteron at $q^2=1.0\mathrm{}$ ${(\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathit{c})}^2$

At a square of the momentum transfer of 1.0 ${(\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathit{c})}^2$ the elastic scattering of electrons on deuterons has been measured at electron scattering angles of 8°, 60°, and 82°. From these data we have extracted a value of $B\left(q^2\right)=(0.59\mathrm{}\pm 1.20)\times {10}^{-5\mathrm{}}$ for the deuteron. This measurements extends the range in momentum transfer by almost a factor of 2 over the previous measurements.
