Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations indicate that electron-neutron coincidence events from (inelastic) background processes can be reduced to a small fraction of the (quasielastic) signal events by appropriate choices for the electron momentum bite and the horizontal angular acceptance of the neutron polarimeter. Electron scattering angles larger than about 25{sup o} are needed to achieve small uncertainties in the electric form factor of the neutron.

The electric form factor of the neutron from the [ital d]([ital [rvec e]], [ital e][double prime][ital [rvec n]])[ital p] reaction at CEBAF

Conference Madey, R; Eden, T; Lai, A; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings (American Institute of Physics); (United States)

Monte Carlo simulations indicate that electron-neutron coincidence events from (inelastic) background processes can be reduced to a small fraction of the (quasielastic) signal events by appropriate choices for the electron momentum bite and the horizontal angular acceptance of the neutron polarimeter. Electron scattering angles larger than about 25[degree] are needed to achieve small uncertainties in the electric form factor of the neutron.
Electric form factor of the neutron from the 2H(e-->,e'n-->)1H reaction at Q2=0.255 (GeV/c)2

Journal Article Eden, T; Madey, R; Zhang, W; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics)

We determined the electric form factor GnE of the neutron from the quasielastic 2H(e-->,e'n-->)1H reaction at a central squared four-momentum transfer Q2=0.255 (GeV/c)2 with a longitudinally polarized electron beam of 868 MeV and a low ({approx}0.8%) duty factor. A neutron polarimeter designed and constructed specifically for this experiment was used to measure the sideways polarization of the recoil neutron, which was detected in coincidence with the scattered electron. Theoretical calculations have established that this polarization-transfer technique for quasielastic scattering produces a value of GnE that shows little sensitivity to the influence of final-state interactions, meson-exchange currents, isobar configurations, and deuteronmore »« less

Measurement of the Electric Form Factor of the Neutron through d-vector(e-vector, e'n)p

Journal Article Zhu, Hongguo; Ahmidouch, Abdellah; Anklin, H; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report the first measurement using a solid polarized target of the neutron electric form factor G{sup n}{sub E} via d-vector(e-vector, e'n)p. G{sup n}{sub E} was determined from the beam-target asymmetry in the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from polarized deuterated ammonia ({sup 15}ND{sub 3}). The measurement was performed in Hall C at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in quasifree kinematics with the target polarization perpendicular to the momentum transfer. The electrons were detected in a magnetic spectrometer in coincidence with neutrons in a large solid angle segmented detector. We find G{sup n}{sub E} = 0.04632{+-}0.00616(stat){+-}0.00341(syst) at Q{sup 2} =more » 0.495 (GeV/c){sup 2}.« less

Measurements of the Electric Form Factor of the Neutron at Q²=0.45 and 1.13 (GeV/c)²

Thesis/Dissertation Tajima, Shigeyuki

Precise measurements of the electric form factor of the neutron, Gn E, over a wide range of the square of the four-momentum transfer, Q², are important for understanding nucleon and nuclear electromagnetic structure. In the non-relativistic limit, the electric and magnetic form factors are related to the charge and magnetization distribution inside a nucleon, respectively. The measured values of the form factors also serve as an important test for nucleon models. Among the four nucleon form factors, the electric form factor of the neutron, Gn E, is the most difficult one to measure and therefore has been very poorly knownmore »« less

A Measurement of the Neutron Electric Form Factor in Dvec ($$\vec{e}$$,e'n)p Quasielastic Scattering at Q²=0.5(GeV/c)²

Thesis/Dissertation Zhu, Hongguo

The form factors of the neutron give information on fundamental properties of the nucleons and provide a critical testing ground for models based on QCD. In late 1998, Jefferson Lab (JLAB) experiment E93-026 measured the spin-dependent part of the exclusive (e, e'n) scattering cross section from a polarized deuterated ammonia (¹⁵ND₃) target at a four momentum transfer squared of Q² = 0.5 (GeV/c)₂. A longitudinally polarized electron beam was scattered from the polarized target and the quasi-elastically scattered electron was detected in coincidence with the knocked-out neutron. The data have been analyzed in terms of the spin-correlation parameter, or themore »« less
