Precise data on the neutron magnetic form factor G mn have been obtained with measurements of the ratio of cross sections of D(e, e ′ n) and D(e, e ′ p) up to momentum transfers of Q 2 = 0.9 (GeV/c) 2 . Data with typical uncertainties of 1.5% are presented. These data allow for the first time to extract a precise value of the magnetic radius of the neutron.
Abstract. The electric form factor of the neutron, GE,n, has been measured at the Mainz Microtron by recoil polarimetry in the quasielastic D( e, e ′ n)p reaction. Three data points have been extracted at squared four-momentum transfers Q 2 = 0.3, 0.6 and 0.8 (GeV/c) 2 . Corrections for nuclear binding effects have been applied.
