Abstract
We use the world data on electron-deuteron elastic scattering to deter mine the deuteron structure functions and the charge rms radius. Coulo mb distortion is included using second-Born approximation. We find a r adius of 2.130 +/- 0.003 +/- 0.009 fm (+/-stat., +/-syst.), which agre es with the information obtained from nucleon-nucleon scattering and f rom optical isotope shifts.
