This talk reviews recent theoretical and experimental results for elastic
electron deuteron scattering (yielding the deuteron form factors), threshold
electrodisintegration (e+d→e′+p+n where the mass of the final np pair,
W, is only a few MeV above the threshold value of mp+mn), and high energy
deuteron photodisintegration (γ+d→p+n). The talk is based on the
complete reviews of Refs. [GVO,S,GG], with a few new results not previously
reported.Comment: 6 pages, 10 figures, Invited talk for Workshop on Electron Nucleus
