Title: Extraction of the neutron electric form factor from measurements of inclusive double spin asymmetries

Abstract

Background: Measurements of the neutron charge form factor, G$$n\atop{E}$$, are challenging because the neutron has no net charge. Additionally, measurements of the neutron form factors must use nuclear targets which require accurately accounting for nuclear effects. Extracting G$$n\atop{E}$$ with different targets and techniques provides an important test of our handling of these effects. Purpose: The goal of the measurement was to use an inclusive asymmetry measurement technique to extract the neutron charge form factor at a four-momentum transfer of 1 (GeV/c)². This technique has very different systematic uncertainties than traditional exclusive measurements and thus serves as an independent check of whether nuclear effects have been taken into account correctly. Method: The inclusive quasielastic reaction ³$$→\atop{He}$$ ($$→\atop{e}$$, e') was measured at Jefferson Laboratory. The neutron electric form factor, G$$n\atop{E}$$, was extracted at Q² = 0.98 ( GeV/c)² from ratios of electron-polarization asymmetries measured for two orthogonal target spin orientations. This Q² is high enough that the sensitivity to G$$n\atop{E}$$ is not overwhelmed by the neutron magnetic contribution, and yet low enough that explicit neutron detection is not required to suppress pion production. Results: The neutron electric form factor, G$$n\atop{E}$$, was determined to be 0.0414 ± 0.0077 ( stat ) ± 0.0022 ( syst ), providing the first high-precision inclusive extraction of the neutron's charge form factor. In conclusion: The use of the inclusive quasielastic ³$$→\atop{He}$$ ($$→\atop{e}$$, e') with a four-momentum transfer near 1 (GeV/c)² has been used to provide a unique measurement of G$$n\atop{E}$$. This new result provides a systematically independent validation of the exclusive extraction technique results and implies that the nuclear corrections are understood. This is contrary to the proton form factor where asymmetry and differential cross section measurements have been shown to have large systematic differences.

A Precision Measurement of the Transverse Asymmetry A_T from Quasi-elastic ³He(e,e') process, and the Neutron Magnetic Form Factor GNM at low Q²

Thesis/Dissertation Xu, Wang

Electromagnetic form factors are fundamental quantities in describing the underlying electromagnetic structure of nucleons. While proton electromagnetic form factors have been determined with good precision, neutron form factors are known poorly, largely due to the lack of free neutron targets. Jefferson Lab Hall A experiment E95-001, a ''precise measurement of the transverse asymmetry A_T' from the quasielastic ³He(e, e') process,'' was therefore designed to determine precisely the neutron magnetic form factor, Gmore »« less

Precise measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor from quasielastic {sup 3}{rvec H}e({rvec e},e`)

Conference Gao, H

Polarized {sup 3}He targets have proven to be a useful tool for studying the electric and magnetic form factors of the neutron, and the spin structure of the neutron. The neutron magnetic form factor at low Q{sup 2} was determined previously at MIT-Bates from the quasielastic {sup 3}{ital {rvec H}e({rvec e}, e{sup `})} process. New experiment was planned at TJNAF to systematically measure the inclusive {sup 3}He quasielastic transverse asymmetry, A{sub T{sup `}}, at Q{sup 2} = 0.1 - 0.5 (GeV/c){sup 2} with high statistical and systematic accuracy. A 2% statistical uncertainty is aimed at all the pro- posed valuesmore »« 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

The ^2H(e,e'p)n Reaction at High Four-Momentum Transfer

Thesis/Dissertation Ibrahim, Hassan

This dissertation presents the highest four-momentum transfer, Q^2,quasielastic (x_Bj = 1) results from Experiment E01-020 which systematically explored the 2He(e,e'p)n reaction ("Electro-disintegration" of the deuteron) at three different four-momentum transfers, Q^2 = 0.8, 2.1, and 3.5 GeV^2 and missing momenta, P_miss = 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 GeV including separations of the longitudinal-transverse interference response function, R_LT, and extractoin of the longitudinal-transverse asymmetry, A_LT. This systematic approach will help to understand the reaction mechanism and the deuteron structure down to the short range part of the nucleon-nucleon interaction which is one of the fundamental missions of nuclear physics.more »« less

The Neutron Charge Form Factor at Low Q2

Journal Article Alarcon, R ; Geis, E ; Kohl, M ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Measurement of the charge form factor of the neutron G{sub E}{sup n} presents a sensitive test of nucleon models and QCD-inspired theories. In particular, the pion cloud is expected to play a dominant role in the low-momentum transfer region of G{sub E}{sup n}. At the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center, G{sub E}{sup n} has been measured by means of (e,e') quasielastic scattering of polarized electrons from vector-polarized deuterium. The experiment used the longitudinally polarized stored electron beam of the MIT-Bates South Hall Ring along with an isotopically pure, highly vector-polarized internal atomic deuterium target provided by an atomic beam source.
