Abstract:

The paper views a relativistic deuteron as a system of two nucleons (a two-nucleon approach) in a formal light cone description. The deuteron is considered as a superposition of two-nucleon Fock states with the invariant mass depending on the relative momentum in a proton-neutron pair. A procedure for consistent calculation of elastic scattering of a polarized nucleon on a polarized deuteron is shown.
