On the determination of the proton RMS-radius from electron scattering data
It is shown that the proton rms radius should be determined from fitting a polynomial of second order to the low-q 2 form factors. The commonly used polynomial of first order yields radius values which are too small. The proton rms radius has been redetermined from an analysis of the electron scattering data measured at three laboratories. The best fit value is 〈r E 2 〉1/2=0.87±0.02 fm.
A liquid gas target system for medium energy electron scattering
Abstract A liquid gas target system is described, which is suitable for high resolution electron scattering experiments at medium energies. The liquid gas chamber of the target system has, for ease of comparison with solid targets, the form of a thin-walled flat box 2 mm in thickness. The position of the target assembly can be changed by remote control.
