Abstract
Making use of the effective field theory expansion recently developed by th e authors, we compute the electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron anal ytically to next-to-leading order. The computation is rather simple, and in volves calculating several Feynman diagrams, using dimensional regularizati on. The results agree well with data and indicate that the expansion is con verging. They do not suffer from any ambiguities arising from off-shell Ver sus on-shell amplitudes. [S0556-2813(99)00502-6].
