Inclusive scattering from polarized {sup 3}He and neutron form factors

Because of the lack of a free neutron target, deuterium targets had been used extensively in studying the neutron structure in the past from unpolarized electron-deuteron scattering experiments. Only recently polarized electron-deuteron scattering measurements have been performed which yield more precise information on the charge form factor of the neutron. The unique spin structure of the {sup 3}He ground state and the recent developments in polarized target technologies make polarized {sup 3}He targets very effective neutron targets. In this talk, the author reviews the current status of the polarized {sup 3}He targets and focus on the quasielastic asymmetry measurement from inclusive {sup 3}He(e,e{prime}) process and the neutron form factors. He discusses the results of the MIT-Bates experiment 88-25 and the preliminary results of the recently completed JLab experiment E95-001 in which precision measurements of the neutron magnetic form factor at low Q{sup 2} are aimed.
