Precise neutron magnetic form factors
Abstract
Precise data on the neutron magnetic form factor Gmn 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 Q2=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.
