review the design and construction of the detector and of its related infrastructures, and report on some technical performances of the various components. The construction of the detector started in 2003 and it was completed in Summer 2008. The experiment is presently in the data taking phase. The whole sequence of operations has proven to be successful, from triggering to brick selection, development, scanning and event analysis.

Precise data on the neutron magnetic form factor G mn have been obtained with measurements of the ratio of cross sections of D(e, e ′ n) and D(e, e ′ p) up to momentum transfers of Q 2 = 0.9 (GeV/c) 2 . Data with typical uncertainties of 1.5% are presented. These data allow for the first time to extract a precise value of the magnetic radius of the neutron.

The charge form factor of the neutron has been determined from asymmetries measured in quasi-elastic 3 − → He( e, e ′ n) at a momentum transfer of 0.67 (GeV/c) 2 . In addition, the target analyzing power, A o y , has been measured to study effects of final state interactions and meson exchange currents.
