JLab Hall-A Magnetic Form Factor of the Neutron (Gⁿ_M) Experiment Analysis Update

The Measurement of the Magnetic Form Factor of the Neutron (Gⁿ_M) experiment (E12-09-019) took place from October 2021 through February 2022 in Hall-A at Jefferson Lab. The ``ratio method" was used in this experiment, which involved detecting both neutron-tagged d(e,e'n) and proton-tagged d(e,e'p) quasi-elastic electron scattering off a deuteron target. The experiment explored five kinematic points ranging from 3.5 GeV²/c² to 13.5 GeV²/c², with beam energies reaching up to 9.91 GeV. This measurement is part of the Super Bigbite Spectrometer (SBS) project, which is an ongoing experiment series in Hall-A at Jefferson Lab. The primary goals of the SBS program is to measure nucleon form factors with unprecedentedly high Q² and high precision. The ratio method for extracting Gⁿ_M benefits from significantly reduced systematic uncertainties, as many of them cancel out when taking the cross-section ratio of d(e,e'n) and d(e,e'p) reactions. However, some uncertainties, such as neutron and proton detection efficiencies, inelastic background contribution, nuclear corrections, radiative corrections, and neutron and proton misidentification, still need to be studied and quantified. This talk will provide an introduction to the SBS nucleon form factor program and the Gⁿ_M experiment, followed by an account of the progress made in the analysis of the Gⁿ_M experiment.
