Measurement of the magnetic form factor of the neutron with quasielastic electron scattering from vector-polarized deuterium with BLAST

ORAL

Abstract

With the BLAST experiment at MIT-Bates, precision measurements of single and double polarization observables were carried out by scattering longitudinally polarized electrons from internal, isotopically pure and highly polarized hydrogen and deuterium targets in elastic and quasi-elastic kinematics. Analysis of inclusive scattering data acquired with vector-polarized deuterium has provided new results at low momentum transfer for the neutron magnetic form factor $G_M^n$ which will be presented.
