A polarized target measurement of the electric form factor of the neutron at Jlab

Conference ·
OSTI ID:883635
The experiment E93-026 at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) determined the electric form factor of the neutron G{sub E}{sup n} through quasielastic {rvec d}({rvec e},e'n)p scattering using a longitudinally polarized electron beam and a frozen polarized {sup 15}N D{sub 3} target. The knocked out neutrons were detected in a segmented plastic scintillator detector in coincidence with the scattered electrons. The G{sub E}{sup n} was extracted by comparing the experimental beam-target asymmetry with full theoretical calculations based on different values of G{sub E}{sup n}. Preliminary results of the Fall 2001 run are reported.
