Abstract
Preliminary results are reported for measurements of the ratio of the electric form factor to the magnetic form factor of the neutron, Gn E /Gn M, obtained via recoil polarimetry from the quasielastic 2H(~e, e′ n~) 1H reaction at Q2 values of 0.45, 1.13, and 1.45 (GeV/c) 2 . The measurements, conducted in Hall C of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, together with other recent polarization measurements, are the result of a decade long effort to establish a firm experimental database for the important, but elusive, electric form factor of the neutron.
