Precise neutron magnetic form factors

Abstract: 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.

“…10 all G M n data obtained from cross section measurements are displayed, including the SLAC experiments [Roc92,Lun93], which measured inclusive quasi-elastic ed cross sections. The more recent ELSA [Bru95] and MAMI [Ank94,Ank98,Kub02] experiments are simultaneous measurements of the cross section for quasi elastic scattering on the neutron and proton in the deuteron, d(e, e ′ n)p and d(e, e ′ p)n; the systematics is then dominated by the uncertainty in the neutron detector efficiency; much attention was given to that calibration in these experiments. In the ELSA experiment [Bru95] protons and neutrons were detected in the same scintillator, and the neutron efficiency was determined in situ with the neutrons from 1 H(γ, π).…”

“…The G n E was extracted by comparing the corrected experimental asymmetry to the theoretical asymmetry averaged over the experimental acceptance under different assumptions about the size of the G n E . The extracted value was corrected for the deviation of the magnetic form factor G n M from the dipole parametrization [9] used in the theoretical calculations. The preliminary results are:…”
