  We study high-momentum distributions and short-range correlation
probabilities in the deuteron with a variety of modern potentials based on
chiral effective field theory up to fifth order in the chiral expansion. We
also consider some conventional (meson-exchange and phenomenological)
interactions. We examine our predictions in the context of short-range
correlation probabilities as extracted from analyses of inclusive electron
scattering data and discuss whether modern interac- tions can be reconciled
with the latter.
