Model independent determination of GEn from the reaction

1988

Abstract Electrodisintegration of vector polarized deuterium by longitudinally polarized electrons offers a possibility for measuring the neutron electric form factor G En . In principle, the electron asymmetry is essentially proportional to G En when quasi-free kinematics are employed. We investigate the model dependence of this result by employing several NN force models both with and without meson-exchange and isobar corrections. We find the asymmetry to be remarkably model independent near the neutron quasi-elastic peak.
