Abstract

We present a precise measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor G_mn at low momentum transfer (q = 1.69 fm^-1). From a simultaneous measurement of D(e, e′ n) and D(e, e′ p) we obtain the ratio of neutron and proton cross sections. The neutron detection efficiency is obtained from a separate measurement using tagged neutrons produced by H(n,p)n scattering of a monochromatic neutron beam. In contrast to previous determinations of G_mn, the present value is insensitive to the systematic uncertainties in the interpretation of the data in terms of G_mn and represents a determination of G_mn to ±1.7%.
