Precise Measurement of the Spin-Dependent Transverse Asymmetry in Quasielastic {sup 3}He(e, e{prime}) and the Neutron Magnetic Form Factor

Conference ·
OSTI ID:768836
We report a measurement of the transverse asymmetry A-T' in {sup 3}He(e,e') quasielastic scattering with high statistical and systematic precision at Q{sup 2}-values from 0.1 to 0.6 (GeV/c){sup 2}. Using a state-of-the-art Faddeev calculation, the neutron magnetic form factor G{sup n}-M is extracted for Q{sup 2}=0.1 and 0.2 (GeV/c){sup 2} with an experimental uncertainty of less than 2%. The results are in excellent agreement with those recently obtained at NIKHEF and Mainz using a deuterium target.
