numerically. Coulomb effects are neglected. We derive the relativistic expressions for single scattering and nucleon exchange and discuss the approximations made, including the off-massshell extrapolation of the nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitude. Fits are made to experimental measurements of differential cross sections, nucleon polarizations, and total elastic cross sections. Unitarity is maintained. We tabulate the partial waves for J < 5/2, L < 2. They are consistent with recent Faddeev calculations. We argue that with the additional calculation of double scattering the deuteron D-state percentage can be determined to the same relative uncertainty as the differential cross section. Even without the calculation of double scattering, our results indicate a D-state percentage around 8%. In an effort to provide benchmarks for future work, we have tried to be conscientious in describing our techniques and in tabulating numerical results. Comparisons are also made with earlier analyses.
