Deuteron electroweak disintegration

We study the deuteron electrodisintegration with inclusion of the neutral currents focusing on the helicity asymmetry of the exclusive cross section in coplanar geometry A({var_theta}{sub c.m.}). We stress that a measurement of A({var_theta}{sub c.m.}) in the quasielastic region is of interest for an experimental determination of the weak form factors of the nucleon, allowing one to obtain the parity-violating electron neutron asymmetry. Numerically, we consider the reaction at low-momentum transfer and discuss the sensitivity of A({var_theta}{sub c.m.}) to the strangeness radius and magnetic moment. The problems coming from the finite angular acceptance of the spectrometers are also considered. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
