Book excerpt: The cross section for elastic electron-deuteron scattering was measured in JLab experiment 91-026. The deuteron elastic structure functions A(Q2) and B(Q2) have been extracted from this data. The final results for the ''electric'' structure function A(Q2), in the range of 0.7 less than or equal to Q2 less than or equal to 6.0 (GeV/c)2 are presented. Preliminary results for the ''magnetic'' structure function B(Q2) are presented in the range of 0.7 less than or equal to Q2 less than or equal to 1.35 (GeV/c)2. These data are compared with theoretical predictions of both meson-nucleon and quark-gluon based models.
