The static properties and form factors of the deuteron using the different forms of the Wood–Saxon potential

The basic properties and form factors of thedeuteron system are investigated for the different forms ofthe Wood–Saxon potential. We have used the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method for analytical solution of the radialSchrodinger equation. A comparison of the calculatedvalues with experimental results are given. It is shown thatthe obtained results for the modified form of the Wood–Saxon potential are very close to the experimental results incomparison with other forms of the potential.
