Measurement of the electric form factor of the neutron at Q2 = 0.3-0.8 (GeV/ c) 2⋆

The electric form factor of the neutron, GE,n, has been measured at the Mainz Microtron by recoil polarimetry in the quasielastic D(¯e, e’¯n)p reaction. Three data points have been extracted at squared four-momentum transfers Q2 = 0.3, 0.6 and 0.8 (GeV/c)2. Corrections for nuclear binding effects have been applied.
