Abstract

We have measured the electric form factor of the neutron, G _E ⁿ , at two momentum transfers (Q ²= 0.5 and Q ²= 1.0 GeV/c ²) through $\mathop{d}\limits^{\scriptstyle\to}(\mathop{e}\limits^{\scriptstyle\to},e'n)p$ quasielastic scattering in Jefferson Lab's Hall C. Longitudinally polarized electrons scattered from polarized deuterated ammonia and G _E ⁿ was extracted from the beam-target asymmetry A ^V _ed which, in quasielastic kinematics, is particularly sensitive to G _E ⁿ and insensitive to MEC and FSI.
